2008 Toyota Yaris S 4-dr sedan
Vehicle specifics:
Seller notes: This
5-spd manual Toyota Yaris S
sedan is one great little car. It was
the right answer for me in the “standard car vs. hybrid” debate. I saved over $8000 vs. a Prius, whose
batteries would be out-of-warranty by now anyway. I can wring out over 400+ miles in one
11-gallon tankful with an 80% highway/20% city driving mix. Speaking of batteries, there’s a new, bigger $200+
AGM-type starter battery under the hood.
It’s a bit of overkill, but starting and stopping are two of the most
important things a car does. This baby
just got four “new shoes” too, in the form of General Altimax RT43’s & wheel covers all
around. They stick like glue, rain or
shine, and seriously outperform the O.E.M. tires. This car has a tiny turn-radius, it can U-turn like a dog
chasing its tail. Its size and maneuverability
also make parallel parking a breeze. The
professionally installed window tint significantly cuts down on summer heat and
UV-damage. This car has not been smoked
in, nor carried pets or kids. My neighbor managed to rub the bumper of his car into the
driver’s side rear door of my baby while backing out and talking on his
cell. It’s actually hard to notice
unless you’re looking for it, as you can see in the picture of that door. There are a few touches that make this car more unique
than the average Yaris.
It’s an “S” model with factory body kit, but I opted for no rear
wing. That’s one less thing to worry
about breaking off or making noise. I
also had the rear lettering removed and the trim panel above the license plate
body color-matched, subtle but elegant. ***Special Feature:
Although there’s a factory AM/FM/CD player, I recently purchased a new Pioneer DEH-X6600BT for
the USB-charging, convenient AUX-input jack, & Bluetooth phone & audio
features. I also have the Metra wiring harness & dash kit,
along w/ the $80+ factory dash panel necessary to fit the new radio
properly. That’s about $250 in audio
goodies that comes in the deal. Why not give my little baby a new home?! You will get Toyota‘s quality & reliability with small car fuel economy, but
a surprising amount of room for you & your life. |

Watch the Muppets go for ice cream in a Toyota
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.
Toyota reaffirms commitment to body-on-frame SUVs
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Toyota sold 121,055 Highlander CUVs in 2012, according to Automotive News. By comparison, it sold 78,457 examples of four different body-on-frame, truck-based SUVs (4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia and Land Cruiser). One could argue then, that the traditional SUVs aren't pulling their weight from a sales perspective. Yet that isn't stopping Toyota from reaffirming its commitment to a segment that has seen its former champions - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler - abandon it with alarming speed. Ford and GM still offer body-on frame utilities, but only in the very largest offerings, catering to seven or even eight passengers. Everything outside of the Expedition or Tahoe rides now on a unibody.
Toyota's decision to stick with the technology is good news if you're in the market for smaller SUVs that are still capable of heading well off the beaten path. Outside of the Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee (a unibody) and perhaps Nissan Xterra, there's not much in terms of capable SUVs between $20,000 and $50,000. As the Toyota brand's US head, Bill Fay, says, "Clearly, the trend has shifted, but there is still an owner base that is interested in these vehicles."
We don't doubt Fay on that, but it may also be somewhat telling that Toyota's SUV lineup is aging, and we haven't seen or heard much about replacement models in the pipeline. Admittedly, the 4Runner (pictured) has been facelifted for 2014, but it's mostly cosmetic in nature. Despite Toyota's posturing, we still expect its body-on-frame lineup to thin in the coming years as sales dwindle and escalating fuel-economy standards make business cases even tougher. Here's hoping that Toyota manages to keep at least one rough-and-tumble SUV in its lineup in the coming years.
Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R is road-going version of brand's racing technology [w/video]
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Did you know that the Yaris is Toyota's best-selling vehicle in Europe? That may help explain to us Americans why the car that's lowest on the company's totem poll here in the US got turned into an all-wheel-drive hybrid track monster for the 2013 Frankfurt Monster Show.
Called the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R, this three-door pocket rocket isn't just a hybrid making a lot of horsepower - it incorporates technology from Toyota's TS030 Hybrid racecar that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship series, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R packs a 300-horsepower, turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood, which should be enough for most speed freaks, but Toyota pairs it with two 60-hp electric motors at each rear wheel (the same ones used in the production Yaris Hybrid that's sold in Europe). That makes total system output an insane-for-this-size 420 hybrid horsies.
But that's not all, as the Yaris Hybrid-R forgoes the traditional battery pack below the rear seats in favor of a supercapacitor, which can both hold more energy and has a much faster power charge/discharge speed than traditional batteries. Paired with the supercapacitor is a third 60-hp electric motor/generator positioned between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission. Its job is to feed the super capacitor energy during deceleration and direct its power to the rear electric motors when more grip and oomph is needed.
