It Is With Regret .....

[dannyboy413]

..... that I am having to leave the Yaris Club thread - I am getting a new C-HR!  . I placed the order with the dealer on 30th April and was told delivery would be in about three weeks. The dealer rang me this afternoon to say that it had arrived last night, so three weeks as stated. He said I could pick it up on or after Friday once they have fitted my 'extra' bits, so I have arranged to go and get it next Monday. I am calling it my birthday present to myself.  😀.

Okay, I will still visit the Yaris threads - and the others.

Happy birthday, hope you enjoy it! I'll be interesting to hear the comparison between the two!! Esp. if it's the CHR with the newer beefier drivetrain  

But wow only three weeks - It feels like it wasn't that long ago people were waiting a year+ for their cars!! It's a good thing the supply chain seems to have mostly recovered!

Just saw an ad stating that the new CHR can be delivered within 4 weeks from point of order.  Changed days from the last couple of years.  Maybe this is a real sign that the motor industry is getting back to normality.

The Korean brand I work with has an average of 6 month wait. 
 

Maybe it’s just the Toyota Way.

The main reason is because it isn't selling well and that's why there are discounts of at least 7-9k on most models.

Prior to my RAV4 I had the previous C-HR, a 2L Design. I loved it, quick enough, could cruise up the hills on the A30 in Cornwall no problem, whilst easily getting 50mpg plus and even more on a run. I only changed it as after an accident as I needed something a bit easier to get into (I just slide into the RAV4) plus a bit roomier in the back. Priorities have now changed and I need something that my wife is happy to drive (she only drove the C-HR twice and won't have a go in the RAV4, apparently it's a bit bigger than her Toyota IQ) so are moving on to a Yaris Cross.

I was going to get a Hybrid CH-R until I got my insurance reminder, I won't be bothering now, it seems that the insurance companies are really hammering Hybrids, so back to petrol me thinks.

Insurance companies do have some strange ideas. As I mentioned in another thread, when I rang my insurance company to arrange the transfer from the Yaris Cross to the new C-HR, they said I would get a €23 refund!

No, I’ve not seen any evidence that hybrids attract bigger premiums either.  I was dreading my premium renewal based on all the drama on these forums but when it came my top of the range Lexus wasn’t much different than the Yaris.  I was hearing “oh canbus, oh hybrid” etc.  Nothing of the sort.  Post code is a factor and occupation is another but Chinese whispers and drama queens don’t apply.  Incidentally, the cheapest occupation for insurance is lighthouse keeper.  I’m strapping a ruddy great flashing light to my chimney!

[Rhymes with Paris]

Drama Queens indeed 😡, any more talk like that and I shall flounce out of the thread, leaving a trail of Chanel no5 and feathers from my boa behind me!

Still, I can see why it would be cheaper for a lighthouse keeper than for a drama queen.
