Just Got My 2013 Yaris L Automatic - Wow!
Well, happened to travel to the nearest Toyota/Scion dealer on my Birthday 2 days ago to look at the Scion iQ - Of course, the one they had for 245 days just sold a week ago, but they had a Gray 3 Door Yaris L. Wanted to look at the Yaris, also, so was glad they had one there. For the money, I was pretty darn impressed. Nash, our sales guy, got an Absolutely Red one from another dealer and I picked it up around 1:00pm this afternoon. I have never been so enthralled with a car. Had to get rid of the 2003 Trailblazer, even with the straight 6 engine, it was sucking up way too much gas and it served it's purpose.
I have been reading the posts here and have had so many laughs & was so impressed by the lack of problems with this car. This is my first Toyota, should have purchase one years ago. Fresh start. The dash is awesome, the interior is so roomy. The seats are friggin' com-for-TABLE! I drove the gray one at the dealer a few miles, yeah, this is pretty cool. I drove my red one away, and 5 miles down the mountain it felt like I had been driving it for years. Unreal - ! It's a go-cart with air, excellent greenhouse, the steering wheel with the 2 humps at 10 & 2 o'clock are awesome. The stereo rocks out enough for me, can't wait to play with the iPod tomorrow - Popped the hood on the gray one at the dealer...can't believe how much room there is in the engine compartment..WAIT, is that the oil filter right up front??! I look under the car and the oil drain is like a foot from the oil filter? So I can change the oil on this sucker and not even use a pair of ramps...I'm hooked. I LOVE THE CRANK WINDOWS Haven't had those since 1988 - I could go on & on...The way the electronics work & sound, the hatch release, the key and locks opening, it seems so precise. I'm really amazed by the sturdiness & quality in this little package. It's a basic Yaris L, but it has plenty enough for me. The Trailblazer had so many options, I never used them. Really, really glad I got this car - so stoked about it. Thanks for all the great posts, I will try my best to add to the discussion, help with tricks & maintenance stuff. Best to all, everyone likes pics, hope these attach. |

Hi Jay,
I'm happy for you. That's how I still feel about mine, and it's a year later. You sound just like me going on about the neato crank windows! |

Congrats, but what happened to the console in the middle? That is just unusual, I do not know if I could get use to the speedometer just right there with the steering wheel... Hehe..

Thanks for posting the pic of your car, so cool... You are right about the TRD rear sway bar, if I eventually spend a couple, 300 dollars on an upgrade, it would be the sway bar. Wheels & tires would be next but that would be years down the road. Car will probably get 5,000 miles a year on it...give or take |

Congrats! Got my 2013 Absolutly Red just 2 months ago, and it just rolled over 3000 miles yesterday. Your pics look just like mine! I absolutly love the little car! The only thing I added was the cruise control stalk that you can get from CTScott for $40. Makes the interstate so much nicer! I posted the pics of the install if you want to see it - http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...+cruise&page=5
