    GR Yaris So many low milage GR Yaris's for sale...

    Dear djwynz - Maybe the truth is that they were bought on the never never and now the time has come for the owner to bite the bullet and cough up for the balloon payment which is unaffordable to them . So selling the Yaris & buying another car on the never never again is more palatable...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Process for purchase

    Great comments . I find it really prophetic of Toyota that the two special edition GR's developed by the Rally Pros are only available in IMT .... :) that says it all to me . Wink . The two pedal is there to make a great car available to those less fortunates ( for many genuine reason's)...

    In praise - sort of - of the manual gearbox, from an unlikely source

    As a First Aid course instructor said to me once , "Its like sex , anything is better than nothing " If you cant find 'em grind 'em but dont give up on the 3rd Pedal . Of course the flappy paddle variant will always be faster than the manual,,,,, How else would manufacturers sell them ?
