Am considering buying one of these and wondered if anyone on here has one? or had one?

They're a jap model, not sure what the european name is :unsure:

Also they've got a lot of bits off the yaris too...

Nothing like that's been released here in the UK... then again I think we're the last to get most cars!! :lol:

Looks smart and you can tell some parts have been borrowed from the Yaris ;)

Yep, it's the xA over in the States alright. Nicer looking than the boxy (I'd like a Hummer really) xB and sharing the same engine, drivetrain and a lot more with the Echo (their Yaris before the new one was released), our Yaris and your Vitz.

Scion's tC is a nice car too. Liking that one a lot.

Yeh I test drove one the other day with a view to purchasing in the bot too far future. Lovely cars. Same engine as 1.5 Yaris/Vitz (although you van get a 1.3 too, not sure whether that's same as 1.3 yaris). There is not a European equivalent of it, onl;y in the US and Canada, as mentioned, it's a Scion Xa (part of toyota (obviously)).

They're lovely cars in my opinion, I was very impressed despite the fact that it's an automatic. Is that the 'sport' version RFVitz? If not try to get the sport one, that's the one I drove, but it was at night and didn't see much of the outside :lol:

I have a 2003 Jap import Auto 1.3 Ist (it had 23000 km on the clock) Great to drive with its high seating position, but a real pain to park! It has a horrendous turning circle when static, and with the sweeping bonnet its pretty hard to figure where the front bumper really is! I have been driving mine for 2 years now, and as to the question about the screen, forget it. You cant change it as it is a Toyota stereo and sat nav system. I have had to replace the stereo due to the frequency. These cars are very popular over here in Malta. I shall be driving mine from Malta back to Ireland this year and I am looking forward to this!
