I actually had that same Toyota Vitz RS in real life...it’s actually super great to drive...it’s lightweight and and powerful...it was one of my first cars...and to me, it sounded great

[@manveerghuman5276]

I want one...

[@garynumanfan]

I have several of these Yaris/Vitz in my GT6 garage at different PP's. The one I have the most fun with is the '00 Vitz U Euro Sport Edition, PP is just below 400 and has about 120bhp, great around small circuits 👍🏻

[@Depression2Faith]

You have to drive an RS and above to appreciate these cars... Great review, thanks!

my mom owns a 4 door yaris from 2008, and off the line, she beats aventadors, 458s, and corvettes daily

+Mr. Tickles - Hahah. Were the other drivers aware that it was a race? :P

[@Chris-bc1tw]

::: HammerStudiosGaming ::: Most likely not

[@EpicB]

You should have painted it pink.

In Australia, we received this era of Yaris as the Echo...I have no idea why, Yaris is just such a nicer name and the model after this was called Yaris anyway

[@EpicB]

In North America, the first gen one was called the Echo. Since then, it's been called the Yaris.

[@MuscleCarLover]

You had it as the Echo too? I never understood that name

[@EpicB]

Musclecarlover7 I don't know either. But we got it as the Echo.

[@MuscleCarLover]

Glad it's not just us Australians that got that name

[@EpicB]

Musclecarlover7 Yeah, and it was called the Yaris here after that.
