2006 1.3 vs 1.5L

[macca]

Thinking of buying a 06 Yaris 1.3L, am I better off spending more and getting the 1.5L?

Seriously, get the 1.5... Spend the extra grand or so.

I test drove both, the extra 20kw or so from the 1.5 really makes a difference, esp. with the auto.

It's a moot point... if you can afford the 1.5, get it :)

I bought mine on the premise it was a 1.5 but found out otherwise later :P

A couple of mods later and it runs a lot better but being a manual helps.

In summary: do NOT buy a 1.3L Auto! Manual will be OK though :)

1NZ all the way have the YRX auto sedan in 1.5L and its sluggish compared to the YRS 4 door hatch manual.

Why theyve a 1.3L option loses me

The YRS is a 1.5L. The YR is the 1.3L. YRX is basically a YRS with a bodykit, different wheels and foglights :P

back when i got my ride the YRX only comes with 6 stack CD player, different trim and passenger seat tray, foggies thats it...!!!! I should have waited for 3 months before getting the YRX... :P

I know ive purchased 3 Yaris's at hail damaged auctions of late and know all the lil ins & outs of the cars...

Gets me is the Sedan version of both YRS / YRX's has the hideous steering wheel that looks plain jane but on the hatch you've the nice steering wheel with audio controls !

Love the YRX rims but other then that id have the YRS overall, in theory if the YRX is the sportier version atleast throw in some decent seats like the MY03 Echo Sportivo's...Another one of my hail purchases
