Hi all, new on here so thought it’d be rude not to introduce myself... :) I live in Ireland and I’ve had my ‘03 Yaris for over two years now, it’s worked more or less faultlessly so far.

Bought it as a run about to do the school run and suchlike, but I’ve come to really like its dependability and the 1-litre VVTi engine is surprisingly nippy I must say. In fact it has really won me over so planning on upgrading to a newer second gen model perhaps next year, a bit dependent on house purchase and such fun stuff.... Ideally I’ll be looking for a model with the 1.33 litre 74kW 1NR-FE engine and six speed manual gearbox, preferably the 3 door model. I think this engine was introduced in Europe in late 2008/early 2009.

Btw, is there an easy way to distinguish visually between the 1NR-FE engine and the two older 1.3 engines?
