It's not on their website or anything so I thought I would pass on the word for anyone close enough to do business in RI.

P.S. I'm not missing something with the mirrors, I am? I DID have to reach out the window and adjust the mirror with my hands, right? There's no little stick inside the car that manually adjusts them from inside the door?

congrats neatnick, did you preorder your new yaris.

neatnick79 · 03-23-2006, 11:57 PM

I wouldn't say I ordered it... I called my dealer, and said, "I'm really interested in the new Yaris, could you call me if you're going to get one in?" So, about three weeks ago they called me and said that one was coming in near the end of March. At that point I put a deposit on it (I was the first person interested in the car, apparently), and it was mine... hehe. Luckily it had the equipment I was looking for!

I have a Yaris RS here in Canada and the side mirrors are electronically adjustable. I think that is included in all Yaris RS models here in Canada, I'am not too sure about the lower models.

interesting how the best cars have the worst dealers... I guess cuz people like us buy them regardless (and write about them months before they come out!). They don't need to be good dealers.

I am in Canada and my Yaris RS HB does have power side mirrors. For the basic model, I believe this feature is included in the LE option package.
In the USA, I guess one will have to order the power package to get it.
Happy motoring!

My dealer just received its first Yaris HB.

I went and looked at it and test drove it, and ordered one.

It is much bigger than I imagined. I am impressed that it weighs so little.

Kept saying how manuals are going to be rare. ROFL. I worked with him, ya think he wouldn't try to push me to buy a slushbox.

Now time to see where I can get it modified.

The first sedan just showed up today here in montana. I want the 3 door liftback. But they're starting to arrive. Hooray. Come on toyota. Alot of us want the yaris liftback manual 3 door. Send them out please.

birdy · 03-24-2006, 06:15 PM

I told my dealership to not even bother calling me until they get a black liftback with 5speed.

Did you think about putting a deposit down? If you did they'd go find one for you.

roundysquare · 03-25-2006, 12:03 PM

When you put a deposit down that pretty much forfeits any oppurtunity to haggle with the dealer on final pricing. Buying at first release = payng MSRP or even more.

i just logged back onto the toyota.com site to config a yaris and pricing and the 3 door 5 speed manual is no longer an option. I wonder if it's a glitch in the flash program or did toyota decide that norcal/bayarea drivers don't get the manual option?

I think it's a glitch. I have the same problem with the site.
Dealers in PNW have all received 3-door manuals in the last week.

why? · 03-25-2006, 05:31 PM

It is a glitch, although like most vehicles odds are manuals will be the exception, while slushboxes will be the majority.

thanks swung, I think one may be getting close. I'm looking for a 3 door lift back manual. But could go automatic. Sure would like to go on a great trip down the pacific coast highway this week.
