Hello There...

[Robie]

Welcome to the club, Toyota CDX 1.3 all the way mate ;)

But if you can afford the extra insurance go for a T-Sport probably 2nd hand you will get a good deal.

[jaxx]

hi and welcome! :D

[n00bie]

Hello there , thought I'd join here cos I'm hoping to get a yaris as my first car. B)

Good stuff mate and welcome to the nut house....

The Yaris is my 1st car too had it for 2 months it's a great little motor and the very best place to start :)

Hope you get your wheels soon. I had to pass my test before getting it but always wanted a Yaris as my first car :)

Hi and welcome!

The Yaris is my first car also and i'm just about 2 get serious with the mods! Just done a few as yet!

U will love the Yaris, if u get a 1 litre u'll destroy all 1.2's bar a Punto Sporting and if u get a 1.3 u'll beat most 1.4's i'd imagine! Aso is very reliable and is very cheap 2 run!

Cheers

I'm 24 now, but only passed my car test last year. Also I had a ban in 2001 for 102mph on the motorway... I'm paying £1100 fully comp for my group 5 1.3SR... I hope that's gonna drop a fair whack this year!

[knightrider]

hi ken, i joined TOC when i was 16 too and i have a 1.0l yaris as my first car ideally get a 1.3SR because its sporty as standard: spoiler wheels remus exhaust, lowered springs,

gosh its a while since i joined now

welcome an go gold soon it pays you get discounts on loadsa stuff pay £15 gold membership and get say 15% off servicing on your car so if thats over £100 service uve already got ur cash back an more so think of it as an investment!

[chrisb]

hey, welcome

i have a 1.3 SR and the are quite nippy!how much were u thinking of spending on ur car, as i will probably be selling mine in september, and either getting a yts or if i can get a decent premium a honda ATR ( )

my insurance was £1300 fully comp at 17 with norwich union and i think the pas pluss saved me about £500

but if i was u i would do a quote without pass plus first and see how much i saves u first,and see if its worth it!

Ahh, is there much difference between the insurance for a 1.0 and a 1.3?

All this insurance stuff I think my mum will sort it out cos she seems to know her stuff, I was talking to her on the phone the other day whilst she's in Hong Kong and she asked if I got my provisional and what car I would like to drive.

I said the Yaris so HOPEFULLY with enough convincing words I can get her to get me one once I pass :D

[Moffmo]

How come SR is group 5 and 1.3 normal is group 3?

Cheers

I've got a 1.0L T3 as my second car, but wish I had it as my first now!

I used to have a 1.1 96 Ford Fiesta which cost £735 for the year on TPFT but I pay it monthly..added on the Yaris halfway through the policy and upgraded to Comp and it cost an extra £160, which I just split and added it onto my monthly payments! Not bad eh! I'm 19, passed last August and did Pass Plus as well.

[Chuck04]

i had the 1ltr for my first car, now upgraded to the t sport, the 1ltr compared to other cars within the same class is still very nippy, lovely car good choice mate

The SR is group 5 cos its the sportier version (pre-face lift), so it has the TTE spoiler, nice 15" alloys, exhaust etc, where as the post-face lift ones dont quite have the same package so they're group 3/4 now.

Anyway .. welcome to the club Kenc!

I personally have a 1.3 SR and insured it 2 years ago after just passing when i was 21. It cost me about £860 fully comp with Direct Line, but thats with the SR at group 5 though. So if you get a new 1.3 Yaris being at group 3/4 then it should be cheaper than the SR itself.

Obviously the best thing to do is get a few quotes .. cos thats the best way!

Which ever version of the Yaris you choose .. you'd definatley be happy cos its a wicked car!

[Yaris-Nut]

Oh yeah! .. and if you're in HK you'd be able to pick up some really nice mods and stuff for the Yaris man!

Stuff straight from Japan!

As i always insist ... if its not Jap its not going into my Yaris! Cos its always gonna be a killer combo!

Have fun! :D

[Moffmo]

DUDE!! GET THE TURBO !!!!

Well going HK at the end of this month and might be heading to Japan as well

But if I'm to get anything....need to really convince my mum to get me the Yaris, hahaha and save the stuff for it B)

[Yaris-Nut]

Japan too!?

Sounds like a nice plan there!

Hopefully i'll be heading off to HK too in a couple of months time .. just need to wait for the prices of flights to come down .. (summer fares ... damn it! :arrgg-matey: ) .. and when i'm there, i'll be shopping like mad!
