It does, in fact I collected GRY #2, 6 months ago today - so oil change and "'safety check'" scheduled for next week.

Had the pleasure of Maintaining this Car today and giving it a check over... The IGL quartz ceramic coating is still working perfect as it should. Wheels still beading. The car has Superb gloss and easy to clean. I just need my own GR now.

Arrived back on Friday from a 2k mile trip to see family in South west France. 
Car was flawless, no dramas other than a deer
running across the road 
and we managed to bring some plonk back on our return. 
Average MPG was 35, which was better than expected, with air con on when we wanted it and it managed to stay cold even when the temp was north of 40º.
The car just managed to drive up the Eurotunnel train ramp without the TRD splitter grounding out, although on our return journey I was on the lower deck with a carriage all to ourselves, which was much better.
Autoroutes nice and easy and I used the radar cruise, which is surprisingly good on long motorway trips. We also made the wise decision to get a tag for the tolls, which makes such a difference at the péage.
We didn't see any other GR's at all on our trip and the first time we stopped to visit somewhere we had a guy taking photos of the car, who visits the Monte every year and is a big rally fan.
We managed to visit a car meet with my brother in law who owns several RX8's and despite the language barrier the locals were intrigued because the GR Yaris is such a rare car in France.
A few photos from the car meet below.

That's a lot of flies, bet they were well stuck to the front. Not surprised your GR performed faultlessly without drama, it's a good little package.

Finally fitted my Eibach lowering springs last week thanks @Martin GR4 , it's only a matter of time before I'll need to replace my front TRD splitter.

Don't need spacers mate, I've got proper wheels.

Thanks to @Richard Mckay and his team for my fast road geo setup this morning.
After a quick blast home, the little Yaris feels great!

With thanks to @Collins_Performance for liberating some extra horses from under the bonnet yesterday.
Never had a tuning box, so this is a jump from standard power and what a difference it makes to the car.
A fine early Xmas present.
