brody9981 thanks for the compliment & Yarisright I agree 100% with the reasons for choosing the S over the standard. When I ordered mine from the dealer here in SoCal, they told me that they had never had anyone actually order an S before and that I was the 1st due to the fact that most people when they decide to go shopping for their car actually buy on instinct and whats on the lot. It took 90 days for my car to arrive from Japan and the day I picked it up at the dealer I had 6 different people ask me if I would consider selling it to them right then and there, yes 6 people because they didn't know about the S model being offered. From what everybody has told me that the dealer I went to is the largest dealer in the state of California and they checked the entire states inventory and not one S showed on their computer. So being a collector of muscle cars and whats rare in that field, I put 2 & 2 together and said, HUMMM, nobody's aware of these ''S'' Liftbacks = potential collector car!! This why I have chose to upgrade my car with Factory TRD options = potential collector car down the road and it's my daily driver.
Remember when you could go to the Chevy dealer and order a 69 Z-28?
Then in 69 you could order a COPO 69 Camaro (all aluminum 427 earthshaker engine)
The dealers didn't even know about this option. Today a COPO Camaro is VERY DESIREABLE and BIG money.
Again guys, count how many ''S'' Liftbacks you see in a month.
I'm always everyday on the look.
If you guys have any pics of your ''S'' Liftbacks, I would love to check out your rides.
Marty

Quite a few, especially when I was in MA.

I really can't believe that some people are convinced that their "S" model will be a rare "collectors item."

Yes, collector's garages of the future will be filled with Corvettes, Mustangs, Supras, GTRs, and Yaris S 3/5 door models.

i seriously lol'ed at that

the S is nice no doubt but 3K for a black interior and a lip kit package just doesnt really fly with the type of people who buy the yaris

we are a select few of people who love the yaris and choose this little beast to mod

99% of the yari i see on the road are driven by normal every day point A to point B people

in the year ive had mine ive seen a total of 2 modded yari, and i dont mean like we do it i mean like wheels and "tintzzzzzzzz"

Rare, yes. Collectors item, no. Ive seen like three or four other ones (ever) and I'm usually the only S that shows up to meets.

It's like the guy I know that has a 1992 Isuzu Impulse RS. Super rare car but by no means a collector car.

2009 s model

I have a 2009 5 door s liftback. I've only seen one 2008 model on the road (which I didn't like IMO) and one 2009 3 door. I've never seen a 5 door around where I live. I think its pretty uncommon, like everybody says no one is willing to pay the extra cash for it. The reason I got one is because I don't see them on the road and I got a great deal on mine.

Hey! I'm also interested in purchasing a 5 Door S. Just wondering how much you paid since you said you got a great deal? Thanks!
