It’s cool, but it’s still a Yaris. I’d opt for a Mini Cooper S over that if I were considering a quick subcompact FWD sporty gheymobile. ---

Most people who buy cars buy for reliability. Most people who buy toyotas buy them because you buy them and you can treat them like crap and they will run forever. 1 recall is NOTHING, btw. PS. 150HP in a 2300 lbs car is not bad, it’s like 200HP in a 2800lbs car (Ex. colbalt SS) That and it’s still reliable… ---

I think its a cool idea. It boosts up a low horsepower car. But, still for the money if its horsepower one is pursuing there’s better choices out there. Although, it would be a good idea as a daily driver- good gas milage, decent hp, manual transmission. oh and it looks pretty hot. I’d prefer it in a yellow or red color though. And, too bad it won’t be in the US. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/yaris-turbo-go-figure-it-wont-come-to-the-us/24492.md?page=2)
