Apparently all VTec engines are like that... more or less same as the VVLi... I saw yellow one in Westend few weeks ago... not bad looking at all...
Goes like a normal 2.0L when u driving it gently and turns to a beast once you revs pass 4000rpm |

45k for the civic type-r :D
that's quite alot I think if I'll pay this much, I'll pay lil' more and buy a presara instead (Luxury freak) the civic type-r is nice but I'm a toyota fan, and I'll be for ever (I think)

I suppose the one advantage of the higher power band is that you can short shift (<2500rpm) your daily driving for the best fuel economy, then shred it when you need power.
It's interesting that you mentioned it jaspie. It's a good $20 000 above what most of our budgets are here with Yarii. Although I'd definitely consider one when I actually have a stable income and my own place. EDIT: Gorgeous... |

cabs don't use presara, they may use AT-X I think
never saw a "aurion cab in WA" anyway Presara is totally different IMO and taxis don't get black pimped out ones

Sure can... they constantly looking for taxi drivers and here is much safer than Sydney or Melbourne... lol
But seriously i was disappointed when i saw a Aurion taxi even though its a base model AT-X, and was kinda surprised when i saw a Odyssey 'mini cab' with 'that' row of led tail lights... Cheers |

mine was a different case, the dealer told me the 7 airbag was the only one they have for the silver yrs sedan so i took the option but somehow the person didn;t charge me for that w/o the consent of the manager. haha but i guess i got totally ripped off for paying 22300 for a yrs sedan AT w 7 airbag and a tint and mat.

well if you got the same discount i did you'ld have paid around 21200 so for that price u have got it would have been about 1500 off RRP. i reckon the yaris is a tad expensive for what you get. but i guess itll come handy at the other end when you sell it as itll hold a lot more of its value than the other competition :)
