Hhhhmmm,.... into safety, likes a good strudy little car!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Thought it was a good car for a first car!

No... not because it was poor or anything just because it is a little engine and is more for a learner/starter drive! would DEFINATLY have a TOYOTA again though :-)

Following the Yaris I got a 1.4 Astra Sporthatch and then I am now moving onto a Astra TwinTop 1.9cdti after 3 and a half driving years! :-)

£9,225

When did you buy the car?

September 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes - i had no part exchange so got some money off the price. Got lots of little goodies off toyota aswell for passing my driving test (was a nice gesture)

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

My dad wanted me to have a brand new car as soon as I passed my driving test so that i had warrenty cover and was safe etc. I picked it up 30mins after I passed my test.

What was the dealer like?

Lovely ... couldnt have asked for more from them! Always polite and eager to help and please!

What's it like to drive?

Driving position seems high compared to other cars. Very very good for first time drivers!

What's it like to park?

Easy peezie lemon squeezie! no messing!

Have you had any problems with the car?

I had the car for 2 years and it didnt need any warrenty work or anything spending on it! super little car!

What's most practical about your car?

Price, 5 doors, cheap to run and insure! suprisingly good mpg for a 1.0! and suprisingly nippy!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Rather basic to be honest .. but absolutly loved the digital speedometer down the 'tunnel'.
