The price we pay - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Speedz · 08-13-2007, 11:08 PM

Apparently all VTec engines are like that... more or less same as the VVLi... I saw yellow one in Westend few weeks ago... not bad looking at all...

Goes like a normal 2.0L when u driving it gently and turns to a beast once you revs pass 4000rpm

ASHRAF · 08-14-2007, 01:06 AM

45k for the civic type-r :D

that's quite alot I think

if I'll pay this much, I'll pay lil' more and buy a presara instead (Luxury freak)

the civic type-r is nice but I'm a toyota fan, and I'll be for ever (I think)

Edd · 08-14-2007, 03:09 AM

I suppose the one advantage of the higher power band is that you can short shift (<2500rpm) your daily driving for the best fuel economy, then shred it when you need power.
It's interesting that you mentioned it jaspie. It's a good $20 000 above what most of our budgets are here with Yarii.

Although I'd definitely consider one when I actually have a stable income and my own place.

EDIT: Gorgeous...

Speedz · 08-14-2007, 01:14 AM

watabout a 'import' Toyota Chaser... hmmm

ASHRAF · 08-14-2007, 03:11 AM

speaking of the new civic i have one here in Canberra.just saw it again on the way to work.quite cool but i guess its too much for me.haha.dont realli like the big BUTT

ASHRAF · 08-14-2007, 12:22 PM

cabs don't use presara, they may use AT-X I think
never saw a "aurion cab in WA" anyway

Presara is totally different IMO

and taxis don't get black pimped out ones

Edd · 08-15-2007, 02:59 AM

lol, aren't taxis usually ford flatcons and holden commonwhores? If you're lucky they might be a corolla/camry though...

Speedz · 08-15-2007, 04:53 AM

In brisbane... we have Avalons, Aurion, Honda Odyssey (current updated model) & Tarago for taxis in their respective class...

Other than that yeah Falcons & Dores are the norm...

ASHRAF · 08-15-2007, 10:27 AM

cool

can I work as a taxi driver in Bris.

Speedz · 08-15-2007, 10:35 AM

Sure can... they constantly looking for taxi drivers and here is much safer than Sydney or Melbourne... lol

But seriously i was disappointed when i saw a Aurion taxi even though its a base model AT-X, and was kinda surprised when i saw a Odyssey 'mini cab' with 'that' row of led tail lights...

Cheers

firez3r0 · 08-15-2007, 11:30 AM

hey .. someone should drive a 5dr hatch and be a taxi driver ... and paint the taxi in yellow.wow ... cool

Masteraal · 08-25-2007, 12:28 PM

lol this thread has gotten very offtopic

I paid 18800 for mine
YRS 3dr Manual in black with
mats
tint
scuff guard and safety pack

saving of around 2500$

cant wait for it to come! 5 more days! and its almost been 3 months :(

Speedz · 08-25-2007, 10:21 PM

yeah the safety pack sets you back for the wait... but u cant go wrong with 7 airbags...!!!

Masteraal · 08-25-2007, 10:37 PM

yea its worth the wait for a superior product... my friend was begging me to get the new Mazda 2 when it comes out but i hope to god its not as good as the Yaris so i wont look like an impatient idiot
hah

firez3r0 · 08-25-2007, 11:25 PM

mine was a different case, the dealer told me the 7 airbag was the only one they have for the silver yrs sedan so i took the option but somehow the person didn;t charge me for that w/o the consent of the manager. haha but i guess i got totally ripped off for paying 22300 for a yrs sedan AT w 7 airbag and a tint and mat.

Masteraal · 08-25-2007, 11:46 PM

well if you got the same discount i did you'ld have paid around 21200 so for that price u have got it would have been about 1500 off RRP. i reckon the yaris is a tad expensive for what you get. but i guess itll come handy at the other end when you sell it as itll hold a lot more of its value than the other competition :)
