We need more posts here and with the lack of a Yaris community, here’s my bean
Funnily enough, doing a color scheme of something lighter (like white or red or blue) with black wheels does a better job or making the car look sporty than most “ground effects” packages. Looks super nice!
And I’ll die on this hill, but you can have as much fun in a small FWD econo-box as you can with a high-powered RWD sport coupe - take a cruise on a few of the less-used interstates where you can find some windy roads and have some fun!
Slow car fast is just as good as fast car fast. :D

I agree honestly, the rims absolutely transformed it compared to the stock steelies with fugly hubcaps, just look at this shit:

I haven’t driven a high-powered RWD car, but I’m having a blast with the Yaris. It has enough power to be fun when driven spiritedly while also not trying to kill you.
Hell, in high school I loved driving my mom’s 2001 Punto. 60 drunk donkeys under the hood, rotted out muffler and busted suspension. It had a 0-60 of eventually and was great fun going flatout down some twisty roads. Granted, flatout in that car meant like 30 mph but highschool me still loved it.
Edit: This one is also a non-hybrid with a manual transmission. That adds to the fun factor quite a bit imo.
Gotta love the hatchback. That’s a nice looking Yaris
Thank you, I do love the hatchback ^-^
Man, I hate America sometimes. I wish we got fun little hatches like this. Instead we just get mammoth SUVs or uninspired CUVs.

It’s pretty fun, yeah. It’s far from a sports car, but it’s nippy enough and doesn’t weigh much so it’s fun driving it down twisty roads.
Fellow 2016 Veloster owner! Off topic but have you found an active Veloster community on lemmy yet?

Wife had the 2010 Yaris. Was such a good car.
Not my favorite car, but I have to say you’ve done a really nice job with it. It’s subtle and tastefully done. Not over the top. Ten points to Griffendore!
Is that the GR? Looks good either way. Once I get the new wheels on tomorrow hopefully I should post pictures of my wife’s IQ in another thread. We have tons of love for the front wheel drive s*** boxes. I drive an XB myself. Toyota for life
Is that the GR?
Ha, I wish. Nah, it’s the regular 120-ish hp shitbox. It has a manual transmission tho, so that’s cool.
