Babz's Toyota Yaris

[arc]

i won't lie. i think they're awful cars. bland, boring, no poke - no feedback. i would never buy a car like that.

i've driven a 1.0l yaris, the engine is totally torqueless and there is no feeling from the pedals or the wheel - totally detached feeling from it. and the colour is horrid to boot.

BUT, it's not my car - so, so what!

congrats to Babz and hope you have many years of happy motoring with it

Probably more like weeks of happy motoring

i didnt like the look of the yaris when it first came out, but then i drove one and found out they're a lot better than they look. plus the build quality is great for a supermini. the speedo is the only thing i cant forgive.

decent looking car but 3200 for a 7 year old supermini seems very steep.

you can get a del mileage panda for 3999.

However the pandas residual drops like a stone once its off the forecourt whereas toyotas hold their second hand value very well.

Where the hell can you get a panda for £3999 brand new delivery mileage???

thats cheaper than a new perodua kelisa

Bull and sh*t spring to mind from Alex again or youve been fed a line from someone

£3200 was actually quite cheap for a yaris.. anything cheaper was stupid high milage or scratched and dented.

This is 18000 miles without a mark on it.

saw a couple 2 weeks back being test driven, 3999 delivery mileage in stickers along the side, fiat newcastle.

and the words d*ck and head spring to mind

springs to mind is a very odd expression, a 20p prize goes to the first person who can tell me its origin.

Now now children. Just get the bum sex over with and relieve the tention

didn't realise they held their value so well

thats why its so cheap to buy a toyota, the cost of a car isnt how much it costs to buy, its how much you lose in total between buying and selling, so a £4000 fiat is a lot more expensive than a £4000 toyota. i prefer to take it one step further and make a profit on my cars.

lol i suppose it's the same as people buying chinese bikes, my mate paid the same as i did for mine, it does 45mph and he probably will be lucky to get 300 quid for it.

lol battery is already broke and most of the bolts have gone
