Smile i'm back and with a yaris hybrid !!

well..... been gone in the wilderness for 2&half years after trading in my 08 yaris d4d for a kia sportage and a horsebox.
so today i called into my toyota dealer and found out there is a hybrid version for sale...... toyota marketing people please do your job, i haven't seen any mention of them in tv adverts and discovered it by wandering the showroom. i got a good trade in value for the kia and paperwork will be done tomorrow or monday. i'll have a 2014 reg yaris hybrid next week! great change from kia 40mpg (eu gal) to 80mpg.

You later mention trading in the Kia Sportage, but nothing more about the horsebox. People have successfully pulled beyond the limit recommended by Toyota, but a horse + trailer .

Imperial Gallon (I assume that is what he is talking about) is 1.2 US Gallons.

That is still ~66mpg which is awesome.

Good to know your horse isn't any the worse for wear (so to speak)!
