Toyota pissing me off

[libraryelf]

If dealership didn't have what you wanted on the lot. Go to different dealership. Geesh, I paid $17,000 for mine in 08. It doesn't have bells and whistles, but it gets me where I need to go. I just did a third oil change, for $64 and some change.

Anyone with their heart set on a RS model, as was the OP, will not be able to find one sitting on a dealer lot anywhere.

wow....it cost u how much for an oil change?? lol, in canada....well brampton ontario it cost $$37 at the dealer....lol. so amarcain cars are cheaper but their oil isn't, lol.

and on jsut about every other situation i would agree, but i'm a teen and i'm sorry, without the lip it is definatly an old lady car. yes i went shopping to inquire about the yaris and i was already sold on a base 3dr but when i saw the RS there was no doubt in my mind that was the cheapest sports car i was gonna get, lol. and when it came down to it, the 3dr i picked out ( with convenience package) the difference was only about $3000 so why not, lol

Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids.

I buy Castrol oil at Walmart for $13 ( 5-quart jug ).
Oil filter from local dealer is $6.
I do it myself. That way, I know the filter isn't screwed on too tight, and some stupid wrench monkey at the quick-lube doesn't strip my drain plug/oil pan bung.

The Toyota Yaris RS is "the cheapest sports car" you are going to get?
The Yaris is NOT a "sports car". Funny how some people think they are.
The Yaris has ONE engine option, it makes 100 horsepower. Laughable.
The RS/S "sporty" model Yaris is $3,000 more ???
So you pay $3,000 for aluminum rims, and some stick-on body panel crap?
That makes it a "sports car" ?
You can buy aluminum rims for LESS than $100 each through Discount Tire in the USA.
And you have like 100 different models ( or more ) to choose from.

In order for the Yaris to be a true "sports car", they would have to offer a model with a larger TURBO-CHARGED/intercooled engine, beefy sports car suspension, larger brakes, larger wheels and tires, and a transaxle that can handle it all. They might as well redesign the overall shape, too. To make it more aerodynamic. ( lower and wider body )

At the very LEAST, Toyota should offer a larger engine in the RS/S models.
A 1.8L dohc quad valve VVT-i engine with a small turbo.
Or the big 2.4L from the Camry.

To stick some crap on a stock Yaris and call it an RS or S model, and charge $3,000 more for it, is just a rip-off.

The Yaris is a SWEET little car. It's a fuel nibbler, city car. Fun to drive. I LOVE my little Polar white 3-door hatch. But a "sports car" it will NEVER be!

pricing for what you name is a bit different in canada....

much more than rims and body kit on the RS...im assuming you've never checked one out

that being said, i couldnt pick one up knowing the engine's were all the same.....a proper RS w/ the 1.8L would be nice, but then it'd be an xD (which, btw, we don't have in canada (yet))
