You should polish up those Yaris lights. It'd look much better! otherwise, looks good (for a Yaris). :P

Are pressed metal plates dearer than plastic ones?

I thought, feck it I'd sell the VRS and it would pay nicely for a deposit on a new Tuscon for towing the boat, but then I went to the dealer and it turned out most of the new Tuscons were only 2WD and the 4WD would cost a ferocious amount extra. With the money I'd save in tax and insurance it would pay about 4 monthly payments a year and then they showed me this i40 demo model they had sitting around and if the tiger fails to materialise for me in 3 years time when the balloon payment comes around this yoke will have long disappeared into a 20ft container on a ship in the North Sea some place with me waiting at the other end for it to arrive.

Cartell says it's a "Salon Executive" which would be 115

Friend has one, has reversing camera built into the rear view mirror.

Heard the newest ones are kitted out a lot better then the previous model. I wouldn't turn my nose up to one or any new Hyundai for that matter.

Looking good, great cars

I've got about 2,000 kms to drive between Cork & Dublin over the next 2 weeks or so, and decided I'd just get a rental (I wanted to use my own yoke as I get a good milage allowance, but the missus uses it a few days every week, so it would have just made things awkward!

I did have one of these a few years ago, but it was the bare minimum spec, this one at least has bluetooth and cruise control.

The problem with rental cars in Ireland is they usually only buy the minimum spec cars, whereas in the U.K. You get everything in the cars, as well as being upgraded to the best cars they have available!!

New wagon with only 51k on the clock. Great motorway cruiser but needs new alloys as those ones look terrible. Delighted with it!

Ah no, runs well, bit of rough idle on cold, but it gets to temperature nicely, doesn't overheat etc.

Bit of TLC and it scrubs up good for 18 years old! Few more bits to tidy up with it yet.



Passed by a Mitsubishi dealer, still looks well on the forecourt!

Front Coilovers in, not to everyone's taste but I love it
