Gr Sport 6 months in

[Gtiaps]

Hi all.

Well the wife's my19 Yaris Gr Sport is 6 months old to us anyway she loves the car so far no issues at all 53mpg on a recent run to cleethorpes A roads and motorways and around town high 30s so not bad at all considering its very hilly around us in Sheffield.

Recent mot and service at Burrows again no issues even got a loan car ( I cant get that with my RR Evoque lol ) loan car was a standard my21 Yaris but she prefers her Gr Sport 😊.

One thing I did notice to the top right on the dashboard is what looks like a plastic dome been told it's heads up display but I can't work out how to get it on.

Anyways that's all for now take care all

I had no idea Reliant Robins were still being made. Evoque is a funky name though!

Yeah true as like many many 70s cars used to rot in the rain especially British Leyland and the likes 🤣 with myself knocking the the 60 mark I remember them very well lol

Once had a Morris Marina TC.  Brilliant car accelerating in a straight line but a death trap once you tried to steer left or right.  Good engine but the worst gearbox I’ve ever encountered.  Don’t really miss it!

Lol yeah I know what you mean I once had an Avenger saloon and the estate the gearbox on those were like stirring treacle and hopefully hit a gear 🤣
