Amortifiedpenguin Clutched July 21, 2009 Share July 21, 2009 bhp/ton looks impressive. pretty lightweight for something that looks heavy- 1.04tons. $$$ is an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic July 21, 2009 Share July 21, 2009 (edited) There are a lot of other better alternatives with more attractive pricing and specs, top up with added safety features, if consumers have an open mind. More for those die-hard fans of T badge. Edited July 21, 2009 by Kangadrool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windchoco 1st Gear July 21, 2009 Share July 21, 2009 I think its a good alternative to Fit.. but maybe not so attractive compared to Sirion and the MIK budget 1.4s... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahseng 5th Gear July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 looks really not much diff from the previous version, saw the car cost pdf from onemotoring.com.sg , seems that the cost is higher than vios for similar spec but selling same price haha. maybe the SE are all promoting vios therefore no one really give a damn abt the "new" yaris, and generally singaporean like sedans better..i tink.

Paddie 3rd Gear July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 maybe the SE are all promoting vios therefore no one really give a damn abt the "new" yaris, and generally singaporean like sedans better..i tink. Not really true, look how many more Fit/Jazz there are on the road compared to City. Or even for Kia Rio, I see more hatch than sedan. I think bottom line is, Yaris is an overpriced and underperfoming product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think bottom line is, Yaris is an overpriced and underperfoming product. i thinks its failure its due to pricing. if BM is willing to lower it to the price of an Avante, i believe that sales of Yaris will pick up.

Soya Supersonic July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 coz it's nothing exciting to tok abt? driven it b4 and it's juz a std buzzy econobox. an avante or forte makes better sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windchoco 1st Gear July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 sirion is quite expensive. more than 50k leh........ I may be wrong, but when i last saw, Sirion is only 3-4k above Myvvi and MIKs, ard same price as swift... Whereas Vios and Yaris is another few k more ex than swift and sirion... Jazz is then of cos, then another few k above Vios and yaris.... So looking at this, Sirion is a cheap toyota, MIJ and bigger space than swift... 1.5L Sirion has 4 airbags, which i m sure is far better than yaris or vios... thus i think this car is v underrated...

I think bottom line is, Yaris is an overpriced and underperfoming product. lol i was referring to toyota buyers generally opting for the vios instead of yaris altho same price @ same specs. It's the "more WU HUA" mentality=It's almost the same car and it has a boot somemore at same price, mai tu liao lor!! good bargain!! Yea it's abit overpriced looknig at the cars in this price bracket, might as well go kimchi or wait abit for the SOUL hahaha head turner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a hidden gem often overlooked by potential buyers, a secret not many know of it. It will bring you grins when revved hard and fuel economy does not seem to increase that much when heavy footing vs light footing. Probably due to DVVT engine.

Macrosszero Turbocharged July 22, 2009 Share July 22, 2009 Sirion is a better buy. As mentioned, Made in Japan, better standard specification (4 airbags), and it is actually sold in Japan as the Toyota Passo. The drawback is the crappy old showroom in Teban Gardens which puts people off. But make no mistake, the Sirion is actually a very decent car for the price. You'll spend two, three hours in a glitzy showroom buying a car, but you'll spend a lot more time sitting in the car you actually bought. One big plus is that the instruments are in front of the driver, and not in the middle of the dashboard for everyone in the car to see. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
