, Great color for the 3 door . Is that a 1.3 ltr. or the 1.5 ltr. engine ? What weight oil is on the oil cap / stated in the owners manual ? Alloys do wonders . Thanks and enjoy .

Damn. That looks factory! I know you can order leather seats in Europe. Quick question: what factory made your Yaris? I know the EU makes them, as does Japan (of course), but is there a factory in South Africa? I know BMW builds cars down there...? Just curious how long the boatride was for your baby.

So true! Those alloys and that color give the '12 Yaris some pop! The leather seats, shift boot and steering wheel complete the circle of awesomeness.

That has to be the sharpest 3-door I have seen on YW thus far. I bow to your excellent taste.

He was born in France and landed in Durban, South Africa locally. Around 5500 miles, I guess. No idea how long it would take. Hope he didn't throw up on the boat . I probably would've. I am yet to get my sea legs.

Another 400 miles from Durban via truck to the dealership where I bought it.
I had to wait a week and a half after placing the order to get it. It was already in Durban when I placed the order though, plus it took three days to fit the leather, window tinting and to do the PDI.

Actually... it's only a 1.0. We only get the Yaris in 1.0 and 1.3 locally.
Oil is SAE 0W-20 - I hope this is the infor you want. Nothing written on the oil cap on the engine though.

Damn. Just 1.0, eh?

Yeah, performance can best be described as almost adequate .

In all seriousness, for me it's not that bad, considering it has less than a 6th of the engine capacity of my weekend toy! It's fine for a daily commute in the city, where a sports car won't get you to work any quicker, just with a bigger fuel bill.

It will eventually live at my holiday home at the coast, where performance will be slightly better. I am used to renting sub 1.0 cars when away on holidays anyway.

Man...What do you do for a living?! I'm not one of those class warfare losers that hates a person because they do well. I am just curious.

It's the internet. We don't know who you are, you can be honest.

You're in the mafia, right?

What's a "hit" like, man? Is the 1.0 Yaris a good getaway car?

I'm in the accounting profession. So boring, I almost fell asleep just writing this.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend the 1.0 as a (fast) getaway car... Not if you are trying to get away from anyone other than on foot, horse or scooter.
The trunk is rather on the cramped side for mafia purposes anyway. No offense to any "Dexters" out there who do use their Yaris for recreational () purposes though.

Anyway, enough of the thread hijack.

Why so few pictures in a pictures thread

Very nice. My friend is going to school to be an actuarial (sp?). Good money in finance, I am told.

Hats off to you.

I think the lack of pics is because the 2012s are just now starting to land in real numbers. Give it time. More Yaris owners will find this site and contribute.
