my new daily driver !!!

well i was considering selling my honda del sol, which i dumped a pretty penny into as of now, but my father says well id hate to see you get rid of it considering its in excellent condition. he offered to go halfs with me on purchasing a brand new 2012 toyota yaris L model, automatic trans.

I wasn't looking for power the evo does that job. we got a fantastic price, not only that every dealer in SOUTH Florida said they couldn't let them go for $15K out the door. we did end up finding one literally 5 to 10 mins away from where we live to make the deal.

Anywhooo were happy this is my new daily/ let the folks borrow when they want it as well car lol
enjoy the pics !!




future mods planned are HIDS, window tints, window visors, possibly an OEM armrest and maybe new wheels sometime next year. thanks for viewing guys and enjoy the pics

finally some comments... lmao thanks guys, its not a rare color its new for the 2012 plus they redid the front fascia and interior. i think its actually more meaner looking then the older model. The car is supposed to get a believe 30-35 mpg, and as for wheels probably next year im gonna get some. but this will be my new daily when i dont take the blue demon out.

Remove the backseat and gain more storage/hauling space. Nobody can fit back there anyways.

In all honesty 15k OTD is not bad for a brand new DD. What kind of gas mileage are you getting? auto/manual tranny? How is the ride? and do you like it so far?

15K OTD is damn good, sticker was 18,654 not including Tax,tag,title. i think in total it would have came up to 20 or $21K.

its auto, so when i dont feel like driving a manual this will be the car i drive. plus its low key. im not trying to make it flashy like my evo or my del sol.

it rides smooth, it feels actually quite peppy for a 1.5 liter 106 hp car. its supposed to get between 30 city 38 highway i believe. it was also at a quarter tank yesterday i threw 20 bucks of gas in it and it was filled up

all in all i enjoy it and i truly do like the car.
