Not sure on pre 2014, but 2014 models had Icon trim. Believe Icon is the base trim?

Seems called them lots of different trim names. Ie T2-4 etc

Yes!

Funny that, it's the OLDEST model, 

But, I think it looks the BEST!  

 

But, also looks like a proper mean British BULL DOG! 🐕 (Maybe not mean then) 😅

[Wayne2015]

TIMES UP! ⏲️ 

 

GAME OVER! 🏁 

 

 

My car is:

01. 2013 Toyota Yaris Hybrid MK3 pre-pre-facelift!

02. T-Spirit (top spec back then)!

03. With SPARE WHEEL

 

OPTIONAL EXTRAS:

04. Sat Nav (it really is that crap back then and you can actually see the RESOLUTION LINES)  

05. Panoramic Roof 😎 

06. Folding Mirrors (err, NO) 😣 ***the only optional extra I couldn't get ...

 

 

PICTURES to come, WHEN I collect the car  and is it worth debadging? 🤔

As far as I'm aware, Yaris hybrids haven't been affected by cat thefts like the Auris and Prius. Don't reca!! any member reporting a cat theft from a Yaris.

Nice. I had a Lexus IS 220D in burgundy and it looked great when clean.

Looking forward to more pictures. Spec sounds good too.

James.

[Wayne2015]

Touche!  

 

I had a Lexus is200 in dark metallic green with light beige leather - really stood out 

[Wayne2015]

But,

 

Is it just me? 🤔 

Test driven the Yaris, and it was like driving my 80s Austin Metro again 😱 

 

My OLDER Auris (12-plate) was much more modern and solid inside 😧

I have never driven a Yaris! Bet its easier to drive and more modern than a volvo 240!

Have you bought it? Or deposit?

Deposited!

 

But, if Boris locks down the country  😷then might be a LONG WAIT 😱

[Wayne2015]

I have driven the 2018 Yaris Hybrid 1.5 Icon Tech

I loved it, it was agile, nippy, feels better drive than my 2012 Auris Hybrid 1.8 T-Spirit, and very economical with a 60mpg commute  

 

Would be interesting what the 2013 Yaris Hybrid 1.5 T-Spirit is really like  🤔

 

Test drive, does feel NOT nippy, UNDER powered, so what will the REAL MPG be like?

🤔

[snowBALLs]

Yep it underpowered, trigger happy noisy revs as there are no gears. What size tyres comes with yours? Need at least 185. It does do 60mpg for city driving.

Why 185? 🤔 

 

So, it's nothing like the facelift 2017 edition ? 🙄 

 

Yes, I hoping 60+ mpg on the MOTORWAY 🙏

As I did 60mpg in my 2012 Auris Hybrid on the 60miles motorway commute doing 55-60mph 🤣

[Wayne2015]

Mine are:

195/50R16

That is good because the lower trim came with 175 and that is freaking awful, I had icon trim and recently gone 185mm and it's much better. 195 will have more stability at cornering as well as traction & braking. 

Did yours come with heated mirrors?

[Wayne2015]

Heated mirrors? 🤔 

 

Not something I look for (as expect to be standard for 2013?) 🤔 

 

Why u ask?

[Wayne2015]

From the attached (HonestJohn), it looks like my Yaris has the:

01. Protection Pack 

02. Protection+ Pack 

But, no Style Pack 😞

[snowBALLs]

I don't even know if the top trim has heated mirrors, very handy to have for winter and raining days, we get about 6 months worth in a year lol
