May as well check in, as a newly registered user. I just got a 2008 Yaris sedan (Polar White, with Power Package with pretty much all options, and alloy wheels). I really liked it more than I thought I would when I test drove it, and it's growing on me more every day. Really liking this car.

Welcome to YarisWorld. Avoid modding your Yaris at all cost. It's like the Lay's potato chip commercial. You can't stop at just one.

Welcome! It seems that there are really two main types of peeps here: the ones that like to mod the car, and the ones that are all about gas mileage (MPG/ Fuel Effeciency (FE)). You'll soon find out which one you are- if you haven't already done so.

Personally, I am about looks but am really trying for the best MPG...

I have to wait until febuary 09 to have enough money for my Yaris. BUT I WANT IT NOW!!!! Anyway, I am planning on getting the exact same one Jafo has, but in meteorite metallic or carmine red. I WANT IT SO MUCH IT HURTS!!!! I joined this site to scope out mods I want to get right away.

Thanks for the welcomes, LtNoogie and natethegreat38.

Regarding mods, I had kind of observed that trend (hard to stop at just one), as you said like potato chips... I've heard people say the same about tattoos. I knew that I would be going that way with mods if I didn't get a car with the options that I have installed already (especially the alloys... I detest plastic wheel covers ). As it is, I will probably be happy with it... any mods that I do, if any, will most likely be small and few in number.

Regarding mileage/fuel economy, that is one of the factors that entered into getting this car (along with reliability, price, cost of ownership, etc.). I just didn't expect it to feel so solid, look so cool, or be so fun to drive! So I see already what you mean about the two types of posters here, but I will probably fall somewhere in between... I won't be modding it like crazy, but I also won't be turning the engine off at red lights to save gas.

It doesn't have to be either or. One of your first purchases should be a ScanGauge II trip computer so that you can monitor your instantaneous and average trip mileage. Watching your MPGs can temper how heavy you lay down that lead foot. Look at my mods. I still got 32 MPGs the last tank. It all depends on how hard you push it. Enjoy the forum, you'll get a whole lot out of it.

Yes, I was kind of kidding on that point... I know it doesn't have to be either or. I just meant that I won't be taking fuel economy to that extreme (that example I gave seems a little extreme to me, but to each their own). Maybe I will get that trip computer... our other car (and the car I had before this) has/had a built-in trip computer, which do give interesting information. Thanks again.
