Yaris Safety?

[earpl]

when i got my yaris i remember one of the points on the toyota website stated it had a re-enforced rood an pillars (to help stop the roof coming down on you) infact just found it on webby i quote "Head impact protection structure roof side and pillar".

well, i was sat in traffic earlier and i noticed that well, it doesnt, infact its no different to and other car......... oh well another excuse for a roll cage.

[Demonic Angel]

But how do you know it doesnt though? Surely its not something you can just see?

Or maybe its a phase 2 thing? ;)

Have you seen the inside of Earpl's car Dem? :D

[Demonic Angel]

Yeah - my screams are still trapped inside...

[Gnome]

Lol. Screams of what? :D

[earpl]

i can see cause i can see all the roof skin and all that runs inside the pillars is the dran from the sunroof. NO emma i used my f in x-ray vision to see. screems eh? ;) shhh

[earpl]

log int msn + i'll send you the vid.

anyway back on topic !! :P

Only applicable to Phase2 Yarii's....................Phase2 was made with improved driver/passenger protection.

I am not wanting to get into a Phase1/ Phase2 argument ;)

[earpl]

im sure it was on the webby before the P2 was relesed

CHILL WINSTON!

Actually, I didnt look at all in your car - was too busy covering my eyes!

Yes ladies - it was THAT big!

But anyway, surely if you dont have it, then it is P2 only?

[earpl]

Definitely a phase 2 feature. There are safety improvements on the phase 2 which are not on the first models.

[CAMSHAFT]

have you stripped out all the interior :o respect , next you will be taking laxatives befoe each run down the Pod , a good one and you would loose 1/2 stone

[cmarshall]

My mate gutted out his escort, what a waste of time, looks tack inside makes it rattly and sod all in performance benefits.

[Red Yaris 54]

Is there really any point in gutting the insides of a car to save weight when the driver could do with loosing a few pounds :D ;)

Try reducing the tyre pressures.

Air has mass. :P

[s_mccullie]

once raced a astra 1.6 sr with a stripped out interior at crail with 4 ppl in my corolla gti and kicked his ***** he had a cable tie holding on a speedo that was it

dont think the 0.1 off a 1/4 mile if worth hearing every bump and knock

[earpl]

not the devilishly quick astra 1.6!!!

[jane-b]

Anyway, back on topic as you say...

the Yaris is a very safe car and I wouldn’t hesitate getting another one. I would like to know if the ‘New’ Yaris has 5 stars.
