Just bought a Yaris!


Hi All.
Just joined your forum because I have just bought a Yaris, my first one
Its a blue 1.3SR, and I have to say I was very impressed. I did look for a T-Sport, but not many around for sale

I am in the UK, so perhaps the 1.3 SR is a UK specific model? Its esentialy the TS with the 1.3 unit and the LED dash instead of dials. but its got the suspension of the TS and and some sporty styling, but not a full kit. I'll get some pics up soon, I dont pick it up til tomor, but here is a link to a similar one in silver on ebay.

Yea, now I am jealous. They have a 69 MPG Yaris in the UK, with Toyota's new diesel engine.

I guess we are well off regarding owning a yaris in the uk. We have an emissions based annual road tax, and my SR is so low on CO2, the tax rate is lower now than it was last year on this car. Our government want to reward 'green' cars and punish thirsty ones.
Yet another great reason to have a yaris.

there is a flaw though, diesels produce less co2, so are cheaper to tax, yet their emissions on the whole are far more poluting...

Same here in Germany. Tax for my Yaris is 28 EUR per year.
