Not a bad looking car.

They call this color Lagoon Blue. It's much prettier in person

Wonder if it states 0w-20 or 5w-20 on the oil cap for the 2012 . If anyone gets the chance to look at one take a peek under the hood to see if it remains 5w-30 and get back to us . Thanks

. We're using SHELL full synthetic 5w-20 ( SN/GF-5 ) in the '08 sedan and it's quite quiet . I'd say about the same noise level as the PENNZOIL ( Y.B ) conventional 5w-30 . The SHELL full synthetic 5w-30 before this oil interval was a tad quieter . Do you have access to the updated chart for the approved oil weights for all the TOYOTA models ? If so , what weights are acceptable for the YARIS ? The Canadian chart shows 5w-20 and 0w-20 are fine for the 1.5 ltr.. Thanks

I am betting 0w20. My 2011 Sienna van takes 0w20 so I can only guess that the new Yaris would take the same.

Not me. I'm really not fond of that flat sided bumper (amongst several other details).

I only drove it around the dealership lot. I wanted to take it on a real test drive, but I had to be at work in 10 minutes.

It's not growing on me at all. I'm glad I bought a 2010.

You mean the pistol box? Yeah, it's gone; yet another reason why I'm liking the new Yaris less and less...
