Tis a pitty they aint bringin it out. I owned a Starlet Turbo for a short while but rolled and wrecked it. An extra 200cc with vvti would have been nice. U could always import it but I had problems with insurance and things.

yes and you drive a corsa
mmm. B-piller cracks, ineffective seals and a few other things wrong with the cvorsa Daimo. don;t start on build quality when you've never owned a punto.
downfall of Punto V's the rest was handling. Yaris just not have the style to crack it.

each to their own...and i would agree, coz my bro has a yaris (so i say its a grannies car ) but his is the T sport!
and it has a full body kit etc...its a 1.5vvti (108bhp) 0-62 in 9 (about a 0-60 in 8.5ish) top speed 118mph...
and its nippy for wat it is...surprises a lot of ppl who my bro races!
my bro imported his T sport (saved a lot! ) and is prob gonna get the new yaris turbo...(by importing it again)...and from what iv seen it looks the same but has a splitter on the front bumper,different alloys, lowered even more and better brakes! (not that the T sport needs better brakes, seein as they r better than a type R civic according to what car mag!and yes they r feckin good! )
iv read the 1.5vvti turbo should produce 170bhp, 0-62 in 7 dead, and 140mph top end... which is quick if u ask me! especially after a chip/filt/zorst ¬ forgettin the dump valve!
so will the standard punto beat a standard turbo yaris?
