New Yaris TR 1.3 owner - love the new 6-speed gearbox & Eco start/stop

Blaine28 · 03-29-2010, 05:48 PM

Hi all

I'm a UK resident and I own a Yaris SR 1.8. Only had it 6months and I'm loving every minute of it.

Just started my mods last month with the K&N induction and I tell you what I've not stopped smiling :-).
Just got a question is their any other mods just for Yaris ie turbos etc

Cheers

Ps will be posting pics soon

Just Swaped My 56 plate Yaris Ion 1.0L for my 09 plate Yaris 1.3L SR

Hi all, just changed from a FTO GPX to a Yaris, due to my wifes health problems, basically she could no longer get in the FTO with out complaining of pain in her knee,s, mind you she has a big arthritis problem with her knees. How ever and I know that the Yaris does not have anywhere ne'er the power or speed as the FTO but I keep finding my self speeding through the town, as the little Yaris actually is very nippy and picks up speed so easily, its slightly mad.

Just found this site. Have been driving a Yaris TR 1.33 since I swapped in the old Micra for scrappage in November 2009. Great till the snow started and unfortunately the supplied Dunlop SP Sport 185-60-R15 's are no way as good on the snow as the cheepo Eastern European tractor tyres were on the 96 Micra. Have read quite a bit about fitting steel rims in place of the alloys and getting hold of snow tyres but I can't find any rims let alone snow tyres. Anyone know which Toyota model steel rims will fit an 09 Yaris?

Hello Guys!

I have been part of this site for ages now, and now i find out there is a UK section, LOL. Too busy driving I guess. I have a JDM spec. Vitz TS 1.8 from Italy. I have posted on the TS section of the site few times now, but yeah. Mechanically is stock. Good balance in it. Don't see many 1.8's around the Bristol area. There is one 3 door just around the corner where I live and a 5 door, but thats about all I've seen. Glad to see there is people who love their Yaris......

its a limited edition which came with 15 inch wheels and metallic paint as a free upgrade. Its got everyingthing but climate control and parking sensors

chasehouse · 07-24-2011, 03:20 PM

i'm a bit daft, didn't realise there was a UK section. tee hee.

Anyway, I've only had the Yaris for a few weeks and already I'm smitten by it. Hardly surprising having just scrapped an old Golf without power steering.

It's giving excellent MPG and is incredibly quick for such a tiny engine. It's the 3 cylinder 1 litre version.

I've been told it has electric power steering. I didn't know it existed. In fact I'm still wondering if someone is pulling my leg.

I went down to Halford's this afternoon to try to find the Haynes manual but it only goes up to the previous Yaris 2004.

A member CTScott has an engine manual for the 3 cylinder so I've requested a copy. This is the first car I've ever owned where there's no Haynes manual available. I guess it's too new
regards,
stu

Just joined, from scotland :) ive had my yaris for almost two years now, brilliant cars. My mam has the phase one mk1 D-4D and i have the phase two (A.K.A facelift) T-Sport.

Scouser · 08-21-2011, 06:28 AM

Another one here just joined. From Liverpool, got an 04 T Sport that's pretty standard at the minute. Had it for about four months now and loving it (especially since my last car was 17mpg!) Anyway just saying hi, great site and tons of info.

gordonr · 09-23-2011, 08:33 PM

hi i am considering purchasing a 08 yaris D-4D T Spirit
i am currently driving a 2.2 vectra sri 150 estate but crippling fuel costs and not the cheapest insurance costs have made me decide to look at a smaller more economical car, the question is are there anything to look out for including any recalls? would you recommend the 1.0 ~ 1.3 or the 1.4 diesel ?
any info would be very apreciated thanks ~ gordon

UPDATE ~ my new aquisition : )

Twisterboy · 09-25-2011, 01:30 PM

Hi there,

I'm Davy and from Edinburgh and picking up a third generation Yaris SR 1.33 on either Tuesday or Wednesday in Sintra blue, my first toyota. Seen the new yaris at a launch night down by the dealer and went along for a test drive and the rest is history.
