It's a little pocket rocket images/smilies/smile.gif

, fantastic on petrol and insurance, perfect for a 20yo images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Nice looking little car. Good choice on the color, too.

What does the T-Sport Phase 2 trim signify?

Cobol74 · April 2nd, 2007, 9:55 PM

Really clever choice - I agree with you, just right. Looks really nice too, is it new or pre-owned? Can't see the plate obviously - take it as a compliment, as it looks good enough to be new!

Deviate: The lights are different, has a teardrop design. And the bumpers look more sporty. Also the interior is a lot nicer. Pic of phase 1 http://www.pictures-of-cars.com/image/img_000213A.jpg Those wheels aint standard btw.

Cobol74: It's preowned 53 plate. Brought it Jan 12th. The first 2 pics were taken last week after I gave her a polish, glaze and wax. Since then I've had the windscreen washers colourcoded. It's in fantastic nick images/smilies/smile.gif

Good choice then. I like the front end on yours MUCH more than the one in the link you posted.

Cobol74 · April 2nd, 2007, 10:03 PM

Skyliner34 Nice job you've done on her, great car and you've got the roads to have some fun nearby!

Skyliner34 · April 2nd, 2007, 10:05 PM

Thanks

, I didnt' know there was 2 versions when I brought it. I'm now glad I brought a P2 images/smilies/smile.gif

I was in a rush and I wanted something sporty, saw the yaris in a garage round the corner from work. Brought it on the spot images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Thanks images/smilies/smile.gif

, hell yeah, I allways take different backroad routes on the drive home images/smilies/smile.gif

. I just need better tyres now, more of a reason to blast down back lanes to finish these tyres off.

watisdis · April 2nd, 2007, 10:07 PM

Good choice. images/smilies/wink.gif

Pics of the interior? How much was it, if you don't mind me asking?

Skyliner34 · April 2nd, 2007, 10:16 PM

Was £7000, nocked it down to 6000. paid 3500 deposit and paying £100 monthly. Will be paying it off soon, as I said I neded the car in a hurry, but I didn't want a banger so I took the Hire Purchase route.

Can only find this pic

http://www.parkers.co.uk/imagecache/file/630/archive/Toyota/Yaris%20T%20Sport%20(01-)/DSC03306.JPG

All other pics on google is P1 interior.

Deviate · April 2nd, 2007, 10:24 PM

Yeah, it's a HELL of a lot nicer than my first vehicle.

Congrats on the purchase.

Skyliner34 · April 2nd, 2007, 10:28 PM

Thanks

, oh btw, the T Sport trim is the top model in the range. It's got a 1.5l engine and does 0-60 in around 8.5-8.9s(according to Parkers). Not bad for a first car.

Dav · April 6th, 2007, 4:39 PM

thought it would of been an r34 for sure, wrong wrong wrong. anyway nice little car there, whats the diff between this and a basic yaris?

Skyliner34 · April 6th, 2007, 5:08 PM

No not a R34 sadly images/smilies/tongue.gif

insurance companies would think I'm having a laugh if I tried to insure one images/smilies/lol.gif

The difference is everything images/smilies/biggrin.gif

. Made in Japan, different bumpers, different interior, analogue dials instead of digital, air con, Lovely seats. Stiffer suspention, bigger wheels and probably other stuff. And most importantly the engine. So this Yaris can move it wheen needed (ok it's no Civic Type R images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

), the standard yaris is slowww. Had to drive one as a courtesy car and hated it. So basic and inferior quality images/smilies/lol.gif

And best of all, because there isn't a lot of these around my area, people think it's a cool car. I always find someone judging it at a car park images/smilies/smile.gif

Great first car - very sensible indeed. And its still got a sporting aspect which is good for someone young.
