    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Oil change every 6 month for GR Yaris (Gen 2) in Germany

    So essentially what this means is that they want a safety inspection without doing anything to the car every 6 months? I wonder how expensive that inspection will be...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Oil change every 6 month for GR Yaris (Gen 2) in Germany

    I agree, the GRY is more about fun, and it's way easier tot drive a bit like a hooligan (not in a bad way). And you're correct that any 911 of Boxster/Cayman stands out, while the GRY is nothing special if you don't know. But, in Belgium the 991.2 generation is the only Porsche generation where...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Oil change every 6 month for GR Yaris (Gen 2) in Germany

    991.2 actually. Costs about 75% more than the Yaris, but Will keep it's value. It's a manual targa 4. There is 1 other for sale in EU and I got a very good deal on it. When I ordered the Yaris 991's were still much more expensive than what I paid. Regarding value of Yaris. There are already...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Oil change every 6 month for GR Yaris (Gen 2) in Germany

    I essentially cancelled my order because of this (and the fact that delivery takes ages). I've know bought a Porsche 911 and that needs service once every 2 year.

    I decided I will not be continuing my order for a Gen 2. If anyone here is interested (in Belgium): manual fancy white color red stitching premium pack without the forged rims. Available at MSRP and unconfirmed production date in february. In case of interest, let me know!

    The OEM ones just already paired before you got the car?

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    I agree that they are almost never used for what they are built for, which is a shame. But they are good if owners would just use them... But then the same van be said of SUV's :D The only car i've driven that felt like it would be able to drive all day on track, is a lotus. But that's hardly a...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    Most of the supercars are actually track capable. Except for some Aston Martins and the "low-end" Ferrari (California/Portofino) I struggle to find supercars that wouldn't be good on a trackday.

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Oil change every 6 month for GR Yaris (Gen 2) in Germany

    imo there is a difference between a garage queen and a fun car. I go to work by train, which means I do about 15k km with my daily car. The GR Yaris will be used just for fun weekend drives, which is maybe 500km a month in summer and maybe 200 in winter. This means in winter this will be an oil...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Oil change every 6 month for GR Yaris (Gen 2) in Germany

    This is a bit rediculous. A lot of people buy this car as a second or third car, which means you might get oil changes for just a few 100km's. Compare this to my Boxster (which is still a way higher perfomance car), there it is once every 2 year or 30000km. Remember everyone complains about the...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    Yeah, theoretically they could use gesture control from BMW and than 2 HUD's or something. But using those is WAY harder than touchscreens :P I also think touchscreens aren't looking great, but it's just impossible to have a car without it. I liked the small screen in the Porsche 991/718 and the...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    Correct. Small list of features that require a digital dashboard or a ridiculous amount of buttons/gauges : TPMS All kinds of temperature monitoring Phone calls changing audio settings satnav/android auto/Apple Car Play changing language on all those things personal driving modes Disabling all...

    You forget that that car had about the functionality of a vacuum. If you would need fysical buttons right now, some youtuber calculated it and you would need 100's of buttons. Remember when people complained about the amount of buttons in a Ford of Mercedes ;).

    The benefit when using alcohol will also be gone, as this evaporates way quicker and will not extract heat from the intercooler.

    Is there a reason for this? On Mobile.de all cars from Estonia are also considerably cheaper?
