hi leowhy, read somewhere that someone managed to get the 1.8 altis at around 100k for a new car. if you can find that deal, it is a seriouly good deal. it's a very well specced car (front sensors, electric seats, optitron meter, VSC, etc)
i agree on you on the design, it looks more conservative, but it is elegant and in some way luxury. happy shopping! |

yesterday I drove my friend's Toyota Yaris 1.5S
it's really a cool car and the interior looks nice since all is in black color just notice the car is abit underpower, maybe coz it's 1500cc only but it's really fun to drive and suitable for city drive just share my experience!  |

list down the differences between the 1.5G and S model
go through each item and ask if you need it, and if alternative after market replacement is available and at what price (but if the item involves major work on the car, then better go the factory-fitted way) |

If I Got RM 99K , I Buy Honda Jazz Better Good ! frankly, i've tested drive both Yaris & Jazz, & i would choose yaris due to newer interior layout & quite importantly, the rear seats for Jazz is just too uncomfrotable... QUOTE(electron @ Nov 26 2006, 10:23 PM) list down the differences between the 1.5G and S model very good suggestion... thanks... go through each item and ask if you need it, and if alternative after market replacement is available and at what price (but if the item involves major work on the car, then better go the factory-fitted way)  the main 2 features that are bugging me are the brakes (15" vs 14" for front & solid disc vs drum for rear) & additional speakers unit (6 vs 4). the rest like interior coloring, meter & player display color, bodykit are not important to me...  |

speakers can always add on, btw did you check the sound quality of the original speakers? you might end up replacing the speakers, even on the S spec.
as for the brakes, the S spec brakes will definitely be better, but depending on how you use the car, the G spec brakes might be sufficient, and when the ori pads wears out, you can always drop in better brake pads. i think the standard audio player of the yaris is difficult to change, so do check the difference between the unit in both spec. |

wow, if 4k discount + 5 years free service & maintenance, it is a pretty no brainer already. 5 years just fill petrol and change tire, then drive.
do check the service offer properly, see if it covers all the fluids, filters, plugs, belting, etc btw, i've seen a few yaris on the road in penang. |
