Also these are Toyota genuine. They look heaps better than on the photo. I'll put them on tomorrow evenning.

Hey mate they look good...sorry if you already posted this but how much were they?

this looks nice! I saw one Aurion with this kind of tail lights at Brighton Toyota dealer one month ago, looks terrific!

genius!!!

What DJKOR says is right.

I know quite many people wants to push their age of car one year less especially if it is build 12/0X.

but it all depends on the compliance plate.

for example, it states BUILD: 10/07...october 2007 builded.

many thanks for the answer

no one?

having driven both the YR and YRS, I would definitely say the YRS is the one to go for, for the .1 l/100km fuel economy decrease you get ~20kw extra and a car that is alot zippier on the road.

Definitely not for the tiny fuel efficiency, just because I heard all toyota's interior noise is relatively lower than others, which appealed to me. I will probably got time to test drive one next week, and I'll just see how do they go. And thank you as well.

I have a manual YRS, and it's a lot of fun to drive. However, on the freeway at speeds like 90-100km/h, you get both road noise and engine noise. I've never taken notice of what the revs sit at at those speeds in 5th gear, but I'll take note of it next time for you.

Thank you very much, Ken!

I drive a YR Manual. In both variations i'd prob just go manual. But i prefer manual anyhow. Though If your going to get the 1.3L YR, definatly get a manual and not the Auto. But if your opting for the 1.5L YRS, either Auto or Manual is fine. Cruising at on the freeway at 100km/h seems not that noisy, but i have an exhaust so hey i can't really complain about any noises that you may be looking out for. Roughly in 5th it revs at 2900-3000rpm @ 100km/km. And the 1.5L im guessing would be maybe 2800-2900rpms. I haven't driven one on the freeway myself.

Thank you, especially for the highway rev info.

Thank you all for the replys

I get a Toyota genuine one installed for my Camry, cost me $395, and they say no discount on this item. But it seems many Chinese mechanicals quote around or below $200 including labour. at least, most of such devices are from China, product quality seems to be all the same and reliable.

wow, if sound deadener really makes a that much difference, i also would like to get it, thanks for the post.

that's a nice work!

It sounds like an old question, but I didn't find anyone here had asked this before. Could anyone help me?

I'm thinking to buy a manual transmission Yaris, 1.3L YR or 1.5L YRS, but I hadn't driven either of them. My driving condition is combined with busy road and highway, more specifically, from Southland Shopping Centre to Camberwell Railway Station.

With manual transmission, both of their 0-100km acceleration seems to be adequate, 11.5s and 10.5s. But I don't know about 1.3L YR's 63kw power on the Nepean Highway, or occasionally on Eastern Freeway, is it capable without high rev and engine buzzy that may impair hearing? YRS's 80kw is good, but is it worth the $1650 for the engine difference and extras (mainly 15" steel tyres, audio control on steering wheel, leather gearnob)?

And one more question, do you all guys drive manual or auto? is there anything difficult with Toyota's manual?

Many thanks!

Prius-es with body kits looks much better

My new Prius

this metallic blue looks awesome!

Hi everyone, I have two common questions, it might be silly, but I can't find answers. Could anyone help?

--If a car was built latter this year as next year's model, will it be regarded as next year's car?

--If a car was built last year, and registered this year, will it be regarded as this year's car? (eg. when resell it on Carsales)

Many thanks!

I am doing a survey for a capstone engineering project. Our product is an attachment to brake pads on the Prius.

The product is able to increase the Prius by 6 mpg, and will cost around $600 to install. If the product takes about 5 years to pay it off, will you be willing to purchase the attachment?

I am also looking for comments, both positive and negative, about such a product.

Lisa M. Stewart

wonder to know how it work, is there any interference, and the 6 mpg a theoretical or practical, depend on any specific driving behavious / traffic conditions?

generally take 5 years to pay off is OK to me as I really love Prius and love to make it perfect

but if it takes 3 years only to pay off, I will definitely get one.

I just got it 2 days ago, work perfectly so far. but i didn't find the speed camera function.

Whereis told me that this version does have speed camera infomations, but for the Toyota edition, it may need to activate some "UNIT" things, like hardware? but dealer told me this version has no this function.very confused.... does anyone knows?

I know.

No speed camera function.

Whereis did include camera's in ver.15 but NOT for Toyota (Denso) version.

Sorry (well,i am)

thank you Cro
