Is this €400 1.0 Yaris worthy of ‘Ring tool’ status?

[@Kalandaari]

Can't get more fun than driving a slow car fast, squeezing every bit of grip and power out of a small econobox is the best way to learn how to drive a car.

[@Isaki138]

And you're still faster in the corners than most folks on the road with their 2ton wobbly suvs. The only thing that is annoying in public is the tire squeal in summer with these 155-185 tires.

[@ironingbored]

Exactly! Many years ago I had a 330i and I didn't feel I could drive it that well, fast. I sold it and as a stop gap bought. 1.1l, 3 cylinder Colt (75hp). Honestly I had so much fun it in, driving it on the edge it had zero torque and I learnt to carry speed through the corners, be smooth etc, and finally heel+toe. 😁

I have one since 2000. It’s slow af but quite fun to drive. Absolutely no grip at all, rear end moves too much, there’s no seat support during corners and the steering ratio is the same of a bus. But it’s very reliable and cheap to run

[@cartertwowheels3358]

I had 2 of these "Vitz Echo" 1.3L though. First one was owned for 4 years from 40,000kms - 100,000kms. Lots of fun open road kms. In that time it cost me a set of tyres and front brake pads + usual oil, coolant and brake fluid. I sold it to a friend who put another 80,000kms on it with no issues. Sold on and still running great. I have another one now '1.3L' I've lowered it with some stiffer springs and fitted a set of lightweight 15x5.5" wheels-16" wheels would cut the weight down more but 16" tyres are a lot more expensive here and also didn't come in a suitable size. The grip and road feel is more like a larger more stable car now however as it's short and very light in the rear a decent swaybar and softer tyre pressure helps. Don't go overkill on tyres, the less weight you have to spin the better, I've seen lots of guys buying 7"-7.5" wheels and running wider tyres. In the rear this will only make the car slide, in the front the car doesn't have the power to justify the fatter tyres. Keep in mind factory rear tyres on these cars are narrower, this helps with wet grip and prevents aquaplaning. Bloody fun cheap banger to learn from.

[@adriaudio6]

I also have the 1.3 yaris, which springs did you take? Do you think 40/40 mm would be too much? I'm also planning to replace my springs but I don't want to go too low.

[@cartertwowheels3358]

@@adriaudio6 Hey mate. Me personally I'd be happy with 30mm and stiffer springs, I just didn't want to spend much to do it. I've also gone to an over profile tire and a 50mm drop front n rear. So works out around 40mm due to the larger diameter tyres. I wouldn't want it any lower on the road, but track I'll go back to factory diameter.

[@adriaudio6]

@@cartertwowheels3358 Thank you, I guess I'll go for 40mm back and front then. I'm also on a budget and don't plan on changing rims at all, happy with my black hubcaps lol. Also don't have a track nearby so it's only for city driving. I can live with scraping here and there hahah
