An actual stick with a clutch pedal, all fake, would be a bit too muchGood luck with your EV choice. Are you getting the manual or auto version?
GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?

@Onehp really enjoyed your posts and knowledge. I hope the 5N is every bit as good as it promises to be. It is on my list too but I will keep the GRY and replace another car in the stable.
Mine has come to its 70,000km scheduled service at around 30,000km. When we bought these they came with capped servicing at $260 per service for the first 6 services. This service is just a look over and oil and filter change and the price is now $386 and a major (two look arounds?) Is $600 ish. So I think I will take over. I need to check the extended warranty rules but $1,000 per year for oil and a cuddle is crazy.
So the fine print:
"Extended coverage up tom7 years with unlimited kilometres* on Engine and Driveline (including Hybrid system) if your vehicle is properly maintained as per the vehicle's Warranty and Sevice book."

Have fun with your new carAn actual stick with a clutch pedal, all fake, would be a bit too much
. I only registered mine this year because I have to go to the MOT and have it serviced, after which it will go back into the garage(July). Other priorities, but the GR is staying here. All the best for you

I am coming from BMW to Toyota so I am well versed in expensive oil and cuddles.

Congrats on the new car choice! You will be missed.
I did too, M2 to GRY. Consumables are so much cheaper.

So checked and it's not 1st April so I'm going to guess that OneHp has bought a Mk2 and will be back shortly...

Congrats @Onehp for new Adventures, it has been a nice journey here. I see this twist can have a bad ending but life is like a chocolate box, you never know what happens.
I was also browsing alternatives the other day, but might be out of funds at the moment. My thinking was that should get a car that I love to drive next 15 years. Maybe an impossible task.

Easy to become consumers, in the end I'm a driving enthusiast and the car is the tool.
In my development as a driver I feel I have had the priviledge to learn and enjoy some great petrolhead cars, rwd, fwd and now awd.
Now I'll be having kids, that love it when daddy goes quick in the bends, along wherever I go for the next 10 years and chose a tool that can come along all of our adventures together... More time for them and more opportunities to actually drive...

Quite a list today:
- Visited the Anglesey Circuit
- Saw the 1st GRY in Wales (a blue wrapped one on the A5 near Bangor @ 11h30 a.m)
- Driven the Evo- triangle
- and the Snowden Pass to finish the day off…
All of this was top: Wales is really worth a road trip!

I actually moved here for the driving (and cycling). The year I moved they put a 40 mph average speed check on the black mountain road then the 20 mph speed limits everywhere else.Quite a list today:

The little fluoro nazis also like to camp out on the EVO triangle I’ve heard.
I’d love to do a trackday at Anglesey, looks awesome.

One of the nicer evenings - visited 10x national rally Champion mr Juha Salo - what a great stories and adventures he has had !
Juha has built a R-lite spec car that he plans to use / rent for customers.
Suspension is Tein (ex papa-Taka), with hard bushes. Stock(!) control arms and reinforced suspension mounts.
Engine is more or less stock with Motec and custom airbox. Also additional engine oil cooler and also transfer box oil cooler with a additional pump.
He said car is very nice to drive and has heaps of torque.

Same. Maintenance on the GRY is peanuts vs my BMW ///M cars over the years. Borderline FREE
