Classic Silver 2012 SE arrived @ Team Toyota - Toyota Yaris Forums

Zillon · 10-27-2011, 11:34 PM

Just came in yesterday - got a chance to shoot it before it hit the lot.

I dig the front, not much a fan of the rear.

I test drove an auto at Longo Toyota in Elm Monte about a week ago. They had about 10 of them, all autos though. It drives well. Smooth, substantial, quiet. Much softer than my '10 Fit but also a little less precise in the steering. I wasn't too thrilled with the red instrument gauges lightning. Also, there is no center light in the ceiling.

i dont know why so many people on here have something negative to say. i personally like the new yaris, a lot. especially in the se trim.

^ That's the best pic of it I've seen. I like the lines from that angle.

i saw a grey one with gunmetal oem rims this past weekend. the SE is hot hot hot

A Magnetic Grey LE arrived today - the SE wins for sure in the styling department. Much nicer interior, too.

I have to admit, the '12 Yaris SE is growing on me...

My '06 xA will be 6 years old in April, and I already have 85k on the clock. No issues and the car is paid off, but I don't want anything to come up. The other car I'm considering is the Fiesta (which is much easier on the eyes, but unproven in the reliability department). I already know that the 1NZFE under the hood of the Yaris is a tried and true drivetrain that I know in and out, and the discs F/R are a bonus.

Agreed. Plus those gunmetal alloys are so nice.

My handiwork for today.

I also did a little research today and I was able to find out that the '12 SE is available in a stick. It just is not available in the mid-atlantic region at the moment.

That's a mighty agressive "manly" looking car, I'll say! Killer wheels and fogs...

Yes, it does. However every time I built a Yaris SE in my region (using my local zip), the manual was unavailable in SE spec.

I had to check with the inventory manager here at the dealer to see just where exactly they were available for purchase (and where they would have to dealer trade to).

Yup. Silly 'merica and their affinity to the autotragic.

I wish the SE was available in a 3-door and a manual, as well.

Oh well, the 5-door will have to do.

Bernie P. · 11-02-2011, 10:45 AM

I like it!Some still mourn for the loss of the old version but like it or not nothing is going to change that.

WeeYari · 11-02-2011, 11:08 AM

Saw my first TV commercial for the 2012 last night. 3 times in 2 hours on the same station. That's more commercial time than I think I've seen in the past 4 years.

It is starting to grow on me some....
