Mo Reviews Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Is it another underpowered offering made in collaboration with a German manufacturer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Reports suggest that it's a little go-er, albeit a pricey little go-er that will take another £3.5k on top for the Torsen diff pack, premium tyres and upgraded suspension to get the best out of it?

Annabella Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Off to go and look at a sort of demo version today. Still very excited about this That is going to be a fast grippy little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 That's our thoughts too. Absolutely nothing like a normal Yaris and has some pretty cracking performance figures for a car that small. We found it comfortable to sit in, but the most modern car we've had is our Supes so we're low tech on that front. The rear seat is not going to be family friendly but again not an issue if you're only likely to use it for two. The boot is better than the Supra so on the whole we're happy. Got a Circuit pack Scarlet Flare on order, looking forward to the test drive in September-ish. It feels like it's going to be the last of an era, and does seem to echo some of the 90s roots.

Frank Bullitt Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 When is the test drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Looks like a tasty offering, and the 4wd system was designed by Gazoo Racing. Nice power output from the 3 cylinder engine and I know it’s £3.5k but I kinda think it would be rude not to get the track pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Yep the circuit pack is what we're going for. Getting quite excited now. Test drives are possibly happening around October time and hopefully delivery in Jan. Toyota are offering a 0% finance deal on it too which really sealed the deal for us.

Faye Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Yes the reviews have been fantastic which is a relief. Downside is Toyota have delayed the pick up of all the first deliveries so now got to wait another couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m seriously tempted to get one of these but I fear the wife might park it somewhere unsavoury . Looking forward to the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Do it! There won't be many more cars like this in the future. The delivery date on new orders is already up to April so they are selling fast now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
