Not a bad looking car.

Wonder if it states 0w-20 or 5w-20 on the oil cap for the 2012 . If anyone gets the chance to look at one take a peek under the hood to see if it remains 5w-30 and get back to us . Thanks

It's actually growing on me.

Not me. I'm really not fond of that flat sided bumper (amongst several other details).

djct_watt · 10-14-2011, 01:55 PM

Did you drive it? What did you think of the single arm wiper?

DebbyM46227 · 10-14-2011, 03:02 PM

It's not growing on me at all. I'm glad I bought a 2010.

bronsin · 10-14-2011, 08:01 PM

What? No drinkwarming/cooling cupholders? No drivers glove box?

And that speedo....ugh!

*kimona* · 10-14-2011, 08:52 PM

The 2006-2011 Vitz quickly became a car with cult appeal. The 2012 model Vitz has absolutely none of that. Pity.

enviri · 10-14-2011, 08:53 PM

i want that steering wheel!!! *looks up yahoo japan*

from the looks of it, it's a good thing that rear bumper doesnt look like it extends for half a mile like the 06-08's did...ugh.

They call this color Lagoon Blue. It's much prettier in person

I only drove it around the dealership lot. I wanted to take it on a real test drive, but I had to be at work in 10 minutes.

Storage bins gone. Generic styling. Glad I bought an '11 before it's too late.

But I do wonder if Toyota fixed the throttle lag problem and the electric steering problem.

wooverstone8 · 10-15-2011, 05:16 AM

I forgot to note that this is the base model and the sticker price is $16,000. This car didn't have power windows.

bronsin · 10-15-2011, 06:50 AM

Oh jeez in all the excitement I forgot to ask the most important question of all:

Have they increased the weight? Have they made it bigger?

traveller · 10-15-2011, 07:00 AM

Compared to the Mk2 its 100mm longer and the roof height is less. Don't know about the weight though.
That dash looks like something from the 1980's!
