Aha, that’s what I need, thank you!

So weird that sellers never seem to think this question is worth answering, even though ANY buyer is going to want to know. I don't get it. It shouldn't even need to be asked, it'd be the next thing after spec and price that I'd mention if trying to sell.

There's one very key thing I prefer the other forum for, though. It's only about the GR Yaris. I don't care about the other GR cars. I realise other people do, fair play to them. But they 86 isn't anything I'm interested in. Sure, I can hit the "GR Yaris" link at the top, but whenever I hit a...

What colour is it?

It amazes me that people don't think to include approx location. Travelling 30 miles to see a car is quite different to travelling 500.

"My mate has the Blue with Rose Gold (?) highlights/wheel trims." That's the colour to get IMO. It's a premium price, but only about £800 on a £40k+ car, so not the end of the world. The test car I had was the mid-grey that's so ubiquitous this days. It looked awful. PS I think the colour...

It's not just a re-badge. Sure it's on the same platform, but it looks better (opinion) and has higher power options (fact).

I drove a Cupra Born at the weekend, SEAT's attempt at an all-electric hot hatch. I really liked it.

Not surprised it's LHD, being a French-built model, as I understand it. My cheapo Tomica 1:61 models are RHD, as you'd expect from Japan.

Seems odd, given that Waze is a Google product and runs fine on iPhones! ("fine" is a relative term, it's pretty buggy, but at least it runs).

I had to register (fair enough, but I'm not sure I trust something so archaic to be secure), then download a PDF and fill it in and email or print it and post it! It allows you to select a payment method, but no way to fill in the payment details. Again, I'm not sure I'd trust them with that...

Oh never mind, I've found the Club Otto thing now. What a palaver, is France still in the 1970s?!

Do you have a link to the Otto model please? I couldn't see it on their web site, and a search for Yaris returned nothing.

In practice, a huge number of people seem to call it the Yaris GR. Which does indeed make me go grrrrr with affected fake anger.

I can't say it's definitively true, but this is a more reputable site that the ones I found in a quick search saying the opposite: https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/does-fast-charging-affect-battery-life-6-phone-battery-questions-answered/ (They say fast charging doesn't damage the battery in...

Thanks for the advice re: headlights, everyone :)

What do people recommend for adjusting the headlight beam for driving-on-the-right?

Should be fine with the right cable. USB is an absolute mess of standards (plural). People clamour for USB-C, but having a sockets of that style tell you very little about what it can do. Look for a cable marked "PD" or "Power Delivery". I'd start with the one my old laptop charges with, cos...

How is your "cheat" a data port? And why do you need a second data port? I doubt the entertainment system is designed for that.

Obviously, other opinions are available, it's probably good that we don't all think the same. But for my taste, nah. I certainly did not mean "in a good way" :)
