I Am So Excited...

[Mick G]

...just signed the order form to trade in my 2004 T2 for a new TR. Ah man, I can't wait.

Bit nervous about the old stop/start thing but I'm sure I'll get used to it if it works the way they say (seemed to on the test drive).

Not an important topic I know but still....I'm excited!!!!!!!

Later,

Mick

Well done! Be interested to see how you rate the new yaris against the old one.

Be interested in how much you paid... although understandable if you don;t want to say on an open forum!

I'd seen one at a good price on a new-car screen-scrape website, informed the local dealer and they nearly matched it so it came in at 9900 - 2700 trade-in = 7200 for a metallic 1.33 TR. That's only a bit more than a grand more than I paid for my T2 5 years ago and lots more gadgets, air-con rather than a hair drier, remote locking rather than leaning over to lock the passenger door, electric windows rather than a windy thingy etc. They might not sound much but they're luxury compared to a 2004 T2.

If you think I've been ripped off keep it to yourself cause I've signed up now and I'll have to cry.

As far as rating it in real life or drive-wise, I'll need to see as I've not picked it up yet. But if there's no improvement (and I don't think there's a lot to improve on on what I've got now) then what have Toyota been doing for the last 5 years? I'm hoping for good things.

Later,

You will love it

Nice extras that make life and driving a better experience. Also a lot safer than your old car as it has 9 air bags and a 5 star EuroNCAP rating

£30 a year road tax when you come to renew it, 100bhp, 55+mpg etc etc

3 or 5 door?

I have had my TR for 6 weeks now,its great.I traded in £20,000 (well when it was new)new shape Civic EX fully loaded,all the toys for this and love it.

I was a bit panicky in the beginning about using the stop/start but now i`m used to it and have no doubts its a very efficient fuel saver.

My travelling time to and from work is about a hour each way my car is in eco drive for 10 minutes of this.So over a month this has to be quite a good fuel saving.You will love the car
