NOCK Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) That 0-60 time can't be right surely!?!?!? 100Bhp will get you to 60 quicker than that in a Lupo, which must be heavier than a Yaris?Or the Yaris must be geared wrong.NOCK Edited February 20, 2007 by LUPO NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreno510 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 i like that advert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I saw this Yaris in Fleet News last week and thought 131bhp was a bit poo these days. Then I thought "didn't Toyota get 190bhp out of the 1.8 in the Celica?". Maybe there's more on its way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think this is clearly no hot hatch, I think Autocar reviewed it last week or the week before.Like those adverts though, especially the shop lifting one. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arosa_03 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I'd say it's more about smooth power than all out speed with this model, I reckon a 190bhp t-sport with the celica engine will be on it's way any time now, which should be nice.recently had a test drive in a previous generation t-sport which is a 1.5 (103bhp) and I have to say I was a little disappointed in the power delivery, even in the vvti band there didn't seem to be much guts... maybe I'm just spoilt with the tdi's torque nowadays??

crash Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 that lowering of 8mm will make it so much better than if it wasnt lowered....imagine what it was like before the 8mm was slashed off...'golly'!hahahaah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I saw this Yaris in Fleet News last week and thought 131bhp was a bit poo these days.Its a small hatch with more power than a Lupo GTI!It should be sweeter to drive at low revs, but you think its not enough power?Hows that work out? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 the current top of the range is the 1.8SR though the SR spec can be had with a range of other engines too including the diesel so it's really just a sporty body kit, larger wheels and a slightly larger engine option rather than a gti version though that could be on the cards later on.
