T-sport is a MUCH better choice, I mean, u will be getting 20 hp's more, looks much better too.

As for leather seats, red, I don't know man. U need to take the car to some guy who could do that and that costs a lot, I'd rather spend all that money for "leather seats" in some actual performance upgrade, like a suspension kit or CAI+Muffler. If u want interior upgrades (to make it look better) I'd usa that money to get sport seats (bucket), like Sparco or Recaro. I'm getting TRD sport seats specially for the Yaris, they are cheap and fit perfectly.

Hey and Welcome,

I have a 1.3.... great little car... not sure about the leather seats... but as said before you can either get a vehicle upholsterer to do it.. or get some seat covers.

[Al J]

Not keen on seat covers of any sort. Always remind me of those little covers that go over the back of sofas. Antimaccasas I think!

Good Luck with your search. :)

hey guys,

thanx for fast replies :)

i was hoping to get a new black yaris with red leather seats or some sort of funky combo like that.. :D unfortunately as far as i can tell it only has one type of interior (which is that charcoal boring type) which is a bummer.. bucket seats it is then for me.. :)

the T-sport does look the business but i am still at a stage where insurance bites my behind and wallet..!

oh yes and thank ya for the answers B)

Fiat?? Why??!!!!

[Blue84]

I have a 1.0L new T3 and its great..I'm 19 and still in first year of Insurance which is why I didnt go higher..it's got electric windows, cd player etc as standard so it's not dead basic but of course not fully loaded either. I'd definately recommend the T3 anyday ;) ps i have the 3 door model but had a 5 door as a courtesy car when mine went in for a scratch repair and the 5 door models are definately better!!

[Al J]

In what ways are they better?

Apart from having two more doors, that is!

  Fiat?? Why??!!!! 

cos it cheap to run :D last me a year then i can get a much more decent car.. but dunno if i want the hassle..

i'd like to know aswell why 5doors are better..!

planning either the T3 1.3 5dr or.. T-spirit 1.3 5dr now.. soo unsure..!

-John

[mjreid]

i suppose a 5 door would be better for convenience in letting ur mates in and out the back, but in my opinion a 3dr looks a bit more sportier and not so "family car"

[eternity575]

my m8 done his seats "leathery".. cost him 1500 NIS which are about 300 pounds.. not much.. only front seats.. but as ppl say.. i would rather upgrade it externally or engine mods...

new ICE maybe?

'Spose if you get a really cheap 2nd hand one. But once you've bought the car, the Yaris is supposedly the cheapest car to run on the market at the moment.

I'd go for the Yaris if I could afford it - you'll avoid all the hassles of breaking down etc etc.!!!

The 3 door Yaris looks much better than the 5, and it works fine taking passengers in the back - especially with the slidey seats - how good is that?!!

[knightrider]

buy an old shape yaris 5 dr!

[Al J]

Buy a three door. Two less to get marked when your passengers open them onto the cars you're parked between.

Oh, unless you're one of the people here who never park between cars!

ah but arent the 3 door models given bigger doors to allow passengers in the back to get in and out a bit more easily?? If they are then it's easier to knock the larger doors on parked cars cos of them being longer :P

[Al J]

Er... yeah, but I was hoping no-one would mention that. :D

Still two less doors to take the edges off though!

[vmail]

Al J just notice that you have got door protectors on your car, do you know how much they are?

hi welcome to the site

the T3 is a great car ,as for the leather seats I dont think they do it . The new t sport turbo is supposed to get leather seats but at 18 , you wont get the insurance so easy . its 1.5 and 150 bhp . best ask a specialist upholsterer for a price for your seats

best of luck
