Picked up new (to me) Yaris yesterday !

Hi all!
Just picked up my new Yaris yesterday. It is an '07 with 19k miles, MT and looks like it is brand new. Me likey !
I think the first thing I'll do is tilt the seat back with a spacer to give more leg support- better seating angle. At 6'4", I need this. Funny to see other people here have done that, as I have done that with two other vehicles.
I'm also considering adding power locks and windows, but I will wait on that, as it is easy to reach over and unlock and unroll the other side. I do miss have keyless remote, however.
Then, I have to loose those hub caps. Anyone have any experience with the MB wheels 5X wheels? They are pretty cheap at my local Discount Tire, but I do not know how they will hold up.

LOL..tell your daughter I *love* the description. How old is she? My 8 year old calls mine The Kangaroo Car...because of all the pockets and glove compartment places.

Congratulations!

I just got a 2007, too, but mine looks like a big giant Roma Tomato.

I forgot to say. I had keyless entry and alarm added right away at the dealership. It wasn't cheap but it's pretty convenient, so I don't regret doing it - although I probably should have shopped around for the best deal first.

Again, congratulations!

Hey, another polar white liftback driver! Hi!

I think the polar whites look like baby shoes.

Welcome. Not sure if you got a service record with the car. If you didn't I would change the oil at 20,000 miles. There is plenty of advice on this forum on what oil to use.

What's it run to add an alarm? I was thinking that might be a good investment.
