Toyota Yaris

[Jho0001]

Hey thanks for the prompt response.

 

I've seen the lighter shade in the showroom very nice but long wait, if I opt for cool siver (has a hint of green imo) or the sky blue then can take delivery in the next 3wks. Prob is, I've never seen the sky blue.....is it nicer than the cool silver? I noticed alot of toyota owners out there have the cool silver.

Sky blue is basically a metallic cyan shade. Cool silver's commonly seen because it is quite a nice colour and also stands up to being dirty quite well (you don't notice it getting dirty as much as a black car).

 

Have you considered red as well?

i heard the yaris has side-impact safety protection better than most other hatchback

Each car has its pros and cons, everyone places a different emphasis on each car's attribute.

 

"Sea of Sunnys" quite aptly describes the number of these cars I see in my office carpark, and is a testament to its inherent attributes and universal appeal.

has a high ncap rating, hence one of my decisions to buy this car.

nicely modded....hehe.

 

Anyone have a pic of a Sky Blue Yaris....cant decide between Sky blue or Cool Silver....

 

Thanks

 

Thats not modded! Thats a pizza delivery car in Australia!

You want the pic of the Pest control car? They also use Yaris.

[Jho0001]

was only joking about it being modded [laugh, tho it does look good for a pizza delivery car

Yaris has 5 stars rating on NCAP, but the Yaris in the crash test comes with:

- Driver frontal airbag

- Front passenger frontal airbag

- Side body airbags

- Side head airbags

- Driver knee airbag

 

It may or may not score as good if it was only equiped with 2 front air bags.

Here you go an more updated test on the 2007 Yaris ....4 Stars...good enough for me!

to be most accurate, yaris chassis used in the test must be japan-supplied and not thailand forge the metal themselves raw from japan supplied recipes

it wouldnt be so accurate however to eliminate this problem... there is Toyota Vitz

Ummm....I thought this is year 2000 model? Sold as Toyota Echo here.

 

Anyway, I think Yaris is a good car.

Got my wife the Yaris from BM last August. I'm a tall person so i find the Yaris very spacious as compare to the other hatchbacks in the market. Even when i push the driver seat far backwards, the passenger at the back still have space to seat in. (Of course must not be taller than me lah :))

 

The pick up is better than the other hatchbacks (Japan and Korean) too... Ive tested, Getz, Fit, Swift, picanto, March. F/C is good cos i myself driving a SUV, so cant compare much... hee hee

unfortunately the boot space is really small.

Jazz, mazda 2 and colt has bigger boot space

[Jho0001]

Yeah, agree that the boot space is very small, luckily the rear seats slide forward but then you also lose the rear legroom (if you have passengers onboard)....luckily this car is for my wife, so as long as there is room for her handbag I dont think she will be too fussed, mind you if you try putting in all her handbags in the car then I may need to upgrade to a Alphard.

[Wilb]

Should say they are a great city car, small and convinient.. My friend installed some crazy I.C.E on his yaris.. looks/hears awesome

[Seanboi]

no need Alphard la... a Van would be sufficient.
