Do people still get Gran Turismo references?
It fit the needs of backup transportation and rallycross car. Solid little car with tons of miles but no red flags plus decent wipers and good matching new(ish) tires told me it wasn’t too badly neglected.
Technically this is a Mk2 Vitz, so the screename fits again!

I did. Now if someone can point me to the autumn ring mini that’d be great. Apple maps isn’t helpful

Good choice! I was looking at Echos/Yari/Vitzes when I got the Accent....very solid little cars they are! Is it a stick? :O

Very nice. I’ve been considering one of these as a backup vehicle. I have to ask: is the center mounted dash bothersome? I’m not sure how I’d feel about that.

Psh, is it stick? Is this site affiliated with Jalopnik? Wait... shit.
But yeah it’s a stick. I’ll give an in depth description over the weekend.

Cool, will be interested to hear your take on the little fella as a manual Echos/Yari/Vitzes are what I was looking into....you’ve essentially bought what I would’ve bought had I not got such a good deal on the Accent :P
(For the record I never even got to drive a Yaris as all the ones I found when I got the Accent were all autos so I never bothered!)

its taking some getting used to. the oddest thing is seeing your left turn signal flash to your right

The turn signal thing had never occurred to me. That would be troubling.

Congratulations on the Yaris! My wife is a fan of them - at least the pre-2012 update version - and has had 3 of them. Her first one was a 3-door w/ manual and we both really liked it. She currently drives a 2011 5-door w/ auto... not as fun as the manual, but still a good little car.
