Is the GR Yaris the perfect first car?

[andersforsman]

Insurance rates will tell you a different story about the GR Yaris 😁

[deracing]

Price (and dealer markups) didn't make the list I see

[thuanzo]

Convincing a parent to drop 50-65k on a first car only to thrash the gear box on such a beauty eh

[GEBSOS]

Who tf can afford a new car as a first car?!? And here am I who worked my summer away to afford a 700$ 1998 Toyota Corolla

It also has hill start assists, and it brings the revs up when you slowly engage the clutch so you cant stall it

[phritza]

It comes in white as well so it's easy to see in the dark.

[anklegrinder]

I’d love one they’re one of my favourites but they are expensive have any tips and tricks to lower price?

[colinslager]

First car? People truly don’t know what reality is anymore

[StrictlyChosen]

65k where I am. Will get one of these soon I trust 🙏🏽😊

[shaunsimpson]

First car, that's a rich boys statement

[JDA]

I really wish they would sell these in the U.S. 😩

A Yaris that costs almost 40k. Nah my parents would by me a M death machine just to not feel scammed.

My first car was Renault 5 GTL, the good days when i bought it for 200€ 40 years used.
Now i have an M4 and its better in all things but the nostalgic feeling of that Renault 5 is something, i tried to rebuy it and the owner refused because he owns it for the same reason i want it.

How would you rate the GR Yaris in terms of technology?

[mrbun]

a 3 cylinder turbocharged that makes 8L per 100km is crazy

[Jtanman]

Short answer: erm.. no?
Long answer: I had a mate who got a 206gti as a first car when he was 18 years old, and he totaled it after 2 weeks - he couldn't handle the power. It depends on your restraint and maturity level. But for most people, recommending a 2.0L car with over 250hp to a first time driver is a really stupid idea.

[michaelfurlonger]

Yeah what a great idea gwt a 17 or 18 year old a literal rally car thats road legal and incredibly quick on the 0 to 60... what could go wrong...

[jonathanshumba-cl]

Its a really nice. But really expensive here in South Africa its cost over R800k. They is no convincing there😂

[MidwestFun]

My first car was 3k and had some tranny issues when we got it
Then I crashed it I got my sisters first car a 5k 05 Monte Carlo and it was a bad horrible engine transmission slipped all the time but it lasted through all my siblings one before and one after me then my parents got a 7k Chevy traverse it was kinda fast with the v6 and I drove it hard and now the transmission slips on it to, me and my brother trade cars so I had the Monte and then I crashed it and now I have a great reliable 13k Tacoma I bought my self, no parent in the right mind would get a new car for a 16 year old.
