I love the look of the Yaris hatch, it just has no room in the back. I was so close to getting a white one too..... I just couldn't get over this fact.

 

That's definitely an improvement :thumbup: I also liked the Yaris and was disappointed about the lack of room when I test drove it, especially since the Fit is so freakin roomy and arguably looks even sportier :dunno:

pppssshhh they coulda got a lil more outa that, come on. I'm dissapointed.


but hey, i was dissapointed at the TRD scion supercharger which is truly weak....but i guess if you really dont have the need for thrust and just want it to be lil more peppy, warranty is the way to go:thumbup:

I like the Yaris and would probably get one if I didn't already have the Focus, but the chassis is merely small, it was never intended to be a sporty compact which you can tell by the suspension design amongst other things. Even though its lightweight, boasting 150hp in 2007 really isn't going to knock anyones socks off either.

Its a good car, but I'd get it and use it more along the lines of what its optimized for... cheap to buy, cheap to own, and super fuel economy. The rear trunk is small, but thats why you pull the rear seats for extra weight savings and install a light flat carpeted floor! Then its a two-door two-seater with a HUUUUUUGE trunk.

 

The Yaris here is advertised with 122hp.

 

id pimp that...fully caged though...

 

Plus why is a 3rd rate auto show getting more coverage and the second largest auto assecory show, Essen?

 

its 100hp per liter... a good measure by anyone's standards.


Forest for the trees i tell ya.. forest for the trees...

 

Wow. What a relief. I am happy to be able to admit that I really like the looks of the Yaris. A zippy Yaris would be even better.

 

Well, the Scion xD is based on the Yaris chassis and will have 120+ hp. Then again, I like the looks of the Yaris better. I really like the S sedan, too.

 

I think it looks cool. But really a near stock Focus would romp all over that little car. Not to mention what a 2.3L turbo Focus would do.

The smaller the engine, the easier it is to get high hp/liter. Hence my ultra-sophisticated one cylinder RC car makes 530hp/liter whereas some crappy 2007 V12 Ferrari 599 makes only 102hp/liter. :thumbdown:

Plus, its like saying, "He's tall... for a midget".

 

any car with the name modellista attached to it, has to be cool, just for the name alone.

 

150hp makes it better but IMHO, it needs to be a bigger engine to begin with.

I think even the mini makes more power with its blower set up than this turbo yaris. I dont see why they cant use a 2 litre engine.
