I have no need for the 2 cars I already have, in fact I am doing more miles walking and cycling than in the car.

And yet, I really really really want one of these. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I think its rare that anything like this will be made again.

I sat in one today outside the dealer, looks good in the flesh and the interior is premium (for a jap hatchback). I’m not able to test drive one until lock down restrictions lift which could be weeks/months. The current factory lead times are 8/9 months. I have leased cars before without a test drive, but never purchased one.

Would love one. Can't see you losing much money on one?

Good point, let me add that to the man maths calculator. :lol:

I’m stupid enough to have it booked into litchfield before its run in, which wont be cheap.

In a complete reversal of normal opinion (because I hate dark green cars in general), I think this Yaris looks fantastic in a Oak Green:

I saw that one on Twitter a couple of days ago. I don’t hate dark green but it wouldn’t be a natural choice - this (and the Lotus Carlton) wears it superbly. May be helped by the fact that it looks like glass. 8-) and also the bronze wheels. I still don’t understand why bronze isn’t a more popular finish.

That looks good, but uk choices are white, Pearl, red or black. Annoying that you can’t spec both circuit and convenience packs as I would have liked the better stereo and heads up display,

Some of them are pretty good, but still nowhere near as smooth and glossy as proper paint.
