yp, I have exactly that model in silver. '07, bought in '08 out of the showroom with 15kms on it.
I love it!
90hp, executive line, keyless.
The only thing I am missing is bluetooth for phone.

Does it sound like a Prius according to Jeff Dunham´s puppet Walter when it passes by?

[Holger]

LOL! I love that guy. "Spark of insanity" is a great show!
But no, it sounds better. :-D

Cool tree hugger car. Hey if it works for you, then it works fer me. Ill stick with the manly cars myself, Yehawww!

I bought one as a work car since I work an hour away from home. It was getting 40 mpg and ran perfect. I had no issues with it whatsoever. its a great little car.
I ended up giving it to my brother.

When I was a kid in the sixties, it wasn't Z28's and big block Chevelle's or Mustangs that I bought, because they were not on my budget. What I and many like me got, were Minis and Sprites and Midgets and VW's. They were fun cars.

Later on when I did get 60's Camaros, and Mustangs, or later still BMW's Porsches and such, they were great, but
not any more fun then the smaller, and slower stuff that I grew up on.

BTW a friend of mine had a Cooper S., now THAT was fun.

Not sayin' my Echos and Yaris' are in the same league as the Cooper S, but small and nimble can still be fun and not expensive IMO and just sayin,

[yellowperil]

I like it. What do ya think?

[KNS]

^^ That looks like fun! I love small, nimble cars.

Looks good!

A car I enjoyed... Over Christmas/New Year I rented a new Corolla Levin with all the sports options things on it like sport mode + paddle shifts + recaro look alike seats + low profile tires + electronic things that you would need to read the manual for... I really liked it. In normal eco mode it was very fuel efficent. Hit the sport mode button and it became quite a different beast.

On "the car I bought today". Lowered it 2 inches and got rid of the 14' wheels and tires, for these 15"'s. Got a few more things to do, then have a bit of fun with it. I would really have fun if I could find about 75 more HP. You're all thinkin' "much ado about nothing" Right?

That might be hard to find. But I'm having fun, easily entertained I guess.. PS Had to move my car outside while I worked on the Yaris today. So had a bit of a drive too.

You

Well we know he's not compensating for anything.
