New owner of 2008 Sedan - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tooyuta · 05-21-2011, 09:00 PM

Just bought a used 08 Black S Sedan MT with 24K miles. Little scratches here and there, hey its used and it will be my daily driver. Traded-in my 02 Sentra GXE with 80K miles. So many problems with that car, I couldn't be more happier with this trade-in.

Just bought 2 quarts of Redline MT90 for next weekend's little project

Looking into getting the engine bay SSK, maybe TRD or Garm's new SSK. Waiting for more reviews of Garm's product.

I'm also thinking of updating my factory shift knob to the TRD leather with the 5 speed pattern on top. Does anybody know if this weighs a little bit more than the factory plastic knob?

This site seems as friendly and informative as my previous automotive site (iwsti.com)

Congrat's and enjoy your new and reliable ride.
My 08, purchased new, is now at ~90,000 kl. with no issues. All smiles!

Thanks guys!

Yeah, the car looks small but big enough and roomy for my 6'2 200lb frame.
If I need more room we just use the Highlander.
Very impressed with the mpg, way better than my old Sentra.
