Running in is pretty easy to stick to, don't accelerate hard for 600 miles but fine to rev to the red line.
One of the last company cars I had was a Saab 93 ttdi, my business partner picked one up at the same time. He ran his in as recommended, I disabled traction and did a mini burnout outside the garage. Mine was noticeably quicker but probably had issues later in its life.
What was harry thinking, he generally has very good taste.

I like the bronze wheels
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
I’m probably one of the few that didn’t like gold wheels on the impreza sti.
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I agree about the STI. They worked ok the mk1 Impreza STI imports (with black mica paint, anyway) but the bugeye onwards were much nicer with grey alloys.

That looks so good!MikeHunt wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 12:59 pm I picked the car up as a "dirty handover" and booked in for a polish and ceramic coating. The car almost looks a different colour now and for the sake of £400 it will be super easy to clean for the next few years.
As much as I love black cars, they are only clean for 10 minutes and I do think that the red has the edge on the black and white cars.
Very appealing little things
Had a lovely chat with an older gentleman at the local tip a few months ago
He had one in black and loved it
Said it made him feel young again and he often laughed out loud when driving it as he was having so much fun
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
I thought I preferred the red but I saw this looking very correct in Florence yesterday.
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
Can’t really go wrong with a black car but the red shows off the swollen shape better.
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
And won’t look permanently dirty
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
It looks correct in black because it isn't distracting you from Florence. I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to find a situation where a red one would better suit.
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
I think you’d get away with parking a red one in the Piazza del Duomo and it wouldn’t distract.
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
Im still not 100% convinced that keeping the mx5 and selling the GR was the right move, hopefully this article will make me feel a little better. Also good to see the intercooler getting more hands on deck.
Re: Toyota GR Yaris
Has anyone got a subscription to The Intercooler? I enjoyed the podcast and short form Instagram articles for a while then it became a big advert for their website and I mostly stopped listening. I've never subscribed to the website but the writers are appealing. But I don't really get on with The Road Rat despite the writers for that being appealing.

And for 40 grand as said earlier in the thread you can get better options. However if these are all on finance it makes them a cheap buy v something used.

Re: Toyota GR Yaris
Cheers, I was wondering what he'd written and not a subscriber. Nice of someone to post the link to his original review of it too (where, to be fair, he does say it's not ultra-rapid and a bit quiet, so he's consistent there, but he also said the seats were supportive (vs now saying there's no side support) and the pedals well positioned (vs being sat too high for the pedals, which I know is not an exact contradiction).
I'd still love to have a go in one, but would like a GR86 more, I think.
