In all honesty, when my missus had a 1.3 Yaris as a courtesy car whilst her clio was being fixed, I f**kin loved it. The engine was as revvy as f**k and it would have pissed on her Clio. I actually enjoyed raggin the nuts off it.

It was a 86 bhp VVT-i engined thing.... peak power @ 6kprm!! Heheh!!

 

[seb]

i had a 1.0l yaris whilst my 182 was being fixed...

i thought it was well nippy for what it was plus it was spooky not hearing the engine when it was idleing...

but the lack of grip was scary! shows how much faster i normally drive in the clio

The missus has one and i get to drive it. When shes not sat below 3K and im sat above it, its a great car. Gotta laugh as she call it her mini 4x4/truck, with good reason it feels like one

my mum has the 1.5 VVTi T-Sport model. Ive been driving it this week while ive been sorting my Clio.

Apart from it feeling like a bus and the seating position being extremely weird, its quite a nippy car. Good fun to drive.

 

[brian182]

[MarkCup]

I got to 93mph in 3rd in a Yaris Verso ...was quite impressed.

 

[MickeyO]

just to keep you updated....

rang john macadums today, to see if it was going to be ready for Monday, cuz if it wernt i would need to extend the lengh of me having this yaris which the other guys insurance pays for...

turns out they "found" some more damage when they got it on a ramp etc...

need it for TWO MORE WEEKS!!!!!!

well annoyed, she said it was waiting for a jig, ???

hate the sound of it being jigged... never be the same will it?

 

[Da]

Jigging hey, chassis bent!

 

[MickeyO]

i know!!

thing is though, the original estimate....already had the word "jig" mentioned on it./...

cant understand whats going on... shall have to go in tomorrow and ask what the score is...

Says it all though!

A Yaris owner would never need another car whist theirs is being fixed!

 

[quickshift]

mine had too be put on a jig to be fixed so the insurance company just wrote it off instead hard luck mate and no wont feel the same

 

[Toypop]

My bro has a 1.0 Yaris and its great. Nothing has ever gone wrong with it, no squeaks or rattles, the dealer service is brilliant and its an all round nice car!

Its not a hot hatch though and in fairness its not trying to pretend it is.

Its like someone that owns an M3 knocking a 182! Totally missing the point!

 

[MickeyO]

back up to date....

the women who told me extra damage had been found was wrong... there hasnt (HUGE WEIGHT OF MA SHOULDERS)

its just waiting for the original tiny bit of jig work...... because they over booked and no jigs are free..

soon as thats done i shall be getting it back, thanks god!
