My New Yaris

September 4, 2009

Hello,

Just bought myself a Yaris :D when I passed my test 4 years ago it was my car of choice but I ended up with a 1999 Ford Ka which has been a great little runner but is now battered :wheelchair: and going to cost a fair wack to get through its MOT later this month so it was time to say bye bye to her :bye: . So after shopping round I bought myself a 1 litre T3 05 plate Yaris with 17000 miles on the clock, I was a bit concerned that it wouldn't be powerful enough but it appears that despite having a smaller engine it has a greater horse power than my KA and it feels really comfy to drive, though with the dash as it feels like I am driving a spaceship! I did consider on 1.3 but it was registered in October 04 meaning that 6 weeks after getting her I would have to fork out for an MOT. I use my car mainly for shopping trips, my short drive to work and journeys to the local hospital, I only do 4-5 long motorway journeys a year. She comes complete with 6 months tax, 12 month warranty, RAC membership, MOT and service. The car also has a full service history.

I need a name for her something space related if poss.

Here's a couple of photos of her

The first Ka engines date back to the Ford Anglia, 40 year old technology. The Yaris engine is a twin cam 16 valve with variable valve timing; it will blow the Ka power plant out of the water. Nice looking car :thumbsup:

Thanks for your reply. I have had my Yaris 3 days now and I really like it :thumbsup: very different to drive to my Ka but in a positive way
