now that's a unique Yaris. It has the cluster behind the steering wheel

Very nice. How did your wife/girlfriend/babe/insignificant other like being in the passenger seat?????
P.S. That's not a bad pic for a cell.

Interesting notes Dweeb. I've had mine ('06 RS) for a month, and can say you will get used to the clutch and seat height. Actually you might consider lowering the car, instead of the seat. I have the TRD lowering springs installed and they take away some of that "micro-van" feel, and tighten up the handling at the same time. The car still rides well, and has the clearance needed for T.O.'s bombed out roads. Enjoy your "Smart...er" car!

STOP TEASING. I've done too many other "Small" Mods. Could have bought the &^$*%* springs already and I should have. Oh, well. Next week I find out when I get my new exaust and then I'll start the save. BTW, unless you have a friend as a mechanic and/or can do it yourself, I think the best thing to do is get the springs through Toyota. I think in terms of cashflow. By the time you purchase the springs off ebay, have them shipped and then have them installed, you have only saved maybe a few dollars. I think that the Toyota Dealership is going to be the way I go now. That's just my 2 cents though.

Anyone who can prove me wrong in the TO area, please do. I'm just thinking out loud, and haven't decided where to buy my springs......

^^^ Ah...., it's my head that has the problem - roof.
And the steering wheel in my lap, it’s angle - driving a bus syndrome. ( it’s my wife’s car, so….

)

Let the mods begin....

What is with all you 6' ++++++ drivers in Toronto????? Been eating the fish out of L. Ontario again. I guess lowering the seats is your only option, unless you go AFTERMARKET$$$$$$$$$.

LMAO, no I still only have 10 fingers and toes, two eyes and one nose, one mouth.... LOL For me it was too many kicks in the arse growing up in Northern Ontario. Seriously though, my whole family(guys) is over 6'3. For me it's all in the legs so I just put the seat back, back not recline with my hat sideways (WTF is with that anyway), lots of leg room and still lots of head room. I kind of like the seat where it is and I'm thinking of just lowing the car!

why? · 05-06-2006, 08:53 AM

I agree on the armrest. It is just in the wrong position no matter where it is. If it is down it blocks the shifter and emergency break. If it is up the pointy edge gets me right in the side.

ricko · 05-06-2006, 02:09 PM

I agree J, the dealer is the way to go. It took just 24hrs from order to installed, and I live up here in ski country. The U.S. prices look good, but by the time you add the conversion, taxes, and shipping, things don't look quite as inexpensive. And you still have to get them installed.

Macel · 05-06-2006, 04:08 PM

I highly recommend reading that undercover salesman article on Edmunds. There are lots of neat little things I learned you can do to get the price down... And to get a better commission for the salesperson you are speaking with, so both parties who have any direct say in the final deal are happy.

coolspot · 05-06-2006, 05:10 PM

GF just bought a 5DR RS w/ B Package Auto + Rust Proofing + All Season Mats for 23880 on the road.

There is also a 500.00 grad program rebate on top of this price, so 23380.00 OTR.

Geez, some people here got there cars for 21500 :(

I bought my '06 5DR RS w/ B Package Auto for $18k, but it might have something to do with my employee discount as I work for TCI.
I also got a free armrest and compass mirror which really sweetened the deal.

uncleyaris · 01-21-2007, 10:54 PM

I got jerked aroud a little from my dealership and they have given me $300 to spend in accessories or service. Was wondering about the arm rest, but it looks cheap on line and the colour worries me. Any insist from anyone who has it.

Thanks

The out-the-door price for my black LE 5dr with B-package was $19500. But, I had to skip out on the rust proofing and extended warranty to get it that low. I don't have the 60/40 split that comes with the RS, but I like the Bench seats, they're well padded and very easy to flip up/down.

Some upgrades on my list is cruise control, summer wheels and winter tires for the stock rims and a 2 din dvd player.

uncleyaris · 01-23-2007, 07:41 PM

How's the match on colour to the center Console? THanks by the way for the feedback!

LAHAL · 05-07-2006, 01:32 AM

David81 · 06-02-2006, 11:39 AM

Hi Contay,

Me too i got the 2007 Yaris Aero, in white.
Do you think our skirts are a bit too low? Made it hard for me to parallel park, i'm always afraid of dmging the front skirt.

Anyways, my discount was 700 + 500 grad rebate - admin fee or someting + 100 gas credit.
