Toyota 2005 Yaris 1.3 or 1.5L ??

[leasaunce]

Hi guys,

just want to know if the 1.3L engine is good? also how many km (or mileage) can you go with a full tank??

I'm planning to get the Manual, 3door, 1.3L engine Yaris 2005/06 model.

anyone...?

The 1.3L is not available in NorthAmerica, so I can only comment on the 1.5L. I can do 6L/100km for mostly motorway driving with manual transmission. Max range is just over 600kms.

Acceleration is slow, but acceptable. If you plan on mostly city driving, I'd go for the 1.3L. I suspect that the lower power engine would suit fine. Hope this is helpful.

^ Thanks x_enginerd! appreciated!

yeah im thinking towards the 1.3L Manual (need to buy a fuel effecient/ small/hot hatch car) since I already have a V6 Camry

is it possible to put a sunroof on the 2door Yaris?? it doesnt say anything in the optional.

I've seen Yarii with sunroof(and leather interior!) in Europe. I have seen one aftermarket sunroof install on old style Yaris ( Echo ) , so it is possible. Quality of install may be an issue.

Its a good idea though as the Yaris Aircon can't really keep up with temps > 30C in my experience

ahh cool! cause since theyre such a small car they might not be able to put a sunroof. thanks for your input x_enginerd

by the way, anyone converted the Yaris Rear Drum Brake to Disc?? or anyone know how much it would costs? (I got an answer from another forum, $600aud roughly)
