Hi everyone. I've got a more up to do date video featuring the T-Sport - Go give it a watch! th-cam.com/video/OvlwMgJ0bLY/w-d-xo.html
I'm trying so hard to get my hands on this!
helpchannel786 do it!
I had a 1.3 automatic and oh boy was it fun to drive, it even had a sunroof
What was the gearbox like? Can't beat a sunroof!
I've got a 1.3 CDX auto and your so right it's cracking fun :-)
I’ve got one for my first car and I’ve had it for coming into 3 years now, can’t find anything overall better to get when considering insurance prices.
They're great cars. I considered going back to one recently because of the cheap insurance!

Mk1 mx5
Since thats eligible for classic insurance.
However that would mean less practicality. A lot less.
@@daigosaito888 2 years since I wrote this comment and I bought something else... Another t sport 🤣 had t sports for 5 years now lmao.
Had a mk1 mx5 for a week, did about 200 miles and enjoyed it (even getting stuck in torential rain with the top down on the A1) but it's not a direct upgrade and can't be compared in the same way. For something to be overall better it would have to fit the same catagory but 1-up in nearly every way, whereas they're far too different cars.
But out of every car I've driven, the MX5 was the hardest to resist.
I got myself a facelift model and I love it! Cheap insurance for the engine size and speed! Love the review! Keep it up!
ben causer They’re cracking little things, I hope it serves you well 👍
Are they actually quick?
KyleW Without wanting to sound boring, it depends what car you’re coming from. This was my second car which meant it felt quick, but going back to it from my 182 Clio I’m sure it’d feel slow. What are you coming from?
@@BleeCarswell an astra cdti about 120 bhp
@@ItsKyleW at a guess, I'd say you'll probably miss the torque of the Astra. The yaris will defo be more fun to drive tho.
Good video - nice and relaxed style of review. Keep it up!
Thank you! Means a lot :)
Great video! My first car eleven years ago was a Phase 2 T Sport. I thought that I would keep it for a couple of years than move on to something bigger and better but its still my only car. Apart from an aftermarket exhaust (the Toyota one costs £1200) and new alloys and tyres its all original and in great condition.
11 years? Thats impressive! To be honest, I know what you mean as I miss this one so much that'll i'll be getting it back soon!
First gen Yaris’ did not come with a sat nav, idk where you heard that lol
It has a GPS/Sat Nav receiver that sits on the dash and a CD thingy under the passenger seat to load the nav discs. I assume it was a fairly rare option back in 2002 haha.
Just bought me one this week.
Its got 220.000km on the clock, fully stock.
Brakes and exhaust renewed.
(Two general weaknesses of the model)
Its a bargain if you ask me.
Anything under 3k euros is def worth it.
It costs €25 in road tax monthly
And €30 insurance monthly
Im in the netherlands btw
I bought a full Stock with 98.000km for 3.200€. Only thing missing is the spoiler, no clue why.
I bought yaris I with 1.0L 68hp engine. It is a really cool car. In the future, I would like to buy 1.5L with 150hp. Fantastic car!
I’m in the market for something small and cheap with a little punch. It’s between this, a SportKa, a Puma (1.7, of course) and maybe a Lupo GTI. Curve ball: remember the Proton Wira GTI? Lotus tuned chassis, meant to be quite a lot of fun?
The Lupo’s values are strong, so probably out of my price range, and Puma values are climbing with most of the bad ones having been scrapped or pulled apart. The Wira is honestly one of the ugliest cars Ive ever seen. That body kit makes you look like a bellend. The SportKa is genuinely one of my all time favourite drives. I’ve owned a smaller engined Yaris, and although it was fun and pointy (with lift off oversteer if you poke it) I just can’t see how it will ever come close to the Ford for interactivity. But then, that Toyota will run until he sun goes out, and all the kit will work too...
See my dilemma?
That does sound like quite the dilemma. Sounds like you're working your way through the list and figuring whats best though! Thanks for watching 👍
Amazing cars, fun to drive and they go forever❤
Great video! Really well done. I just picked an “Echo” up. That’s what they’re called here in Canada. It’s modded and I love it! I made a video about it too.
Ooo "Echo" what a fancy name for a little Toyota. Thanks for watching! I'll have a look at your channel
@@BleeCarswell Yea it is pretty cool. But I think I like Yaris better. Regardless its a great car!
Decent video and I agree with a lot of the points. I have had 2 of these myself (currently still owning one now).
Few things...
I agree about the motorway driving, it does work hard.
The power drops off just before redline so I agree with the bit you said about going past 5k
I wish my AC worked. 😂
Decent video! I also did a review not that long ago on mine too, along with review style videos to apply for certain audiences.
I've thought about getting another one tbf 😂 Glad you agree and I'll check your video out in the morning 👍👍
@@BleeCarswell cheers dude, appreciate it
Great video👍. I have the sr model of this, ( 1.3) an x reg. Has just got to 150,000 miles. I have owned it two years, has never let me down. The power to weight ratio, even in the 1.3 is brilliant
secondmouse getscheese 150k miles is good going! Glad to know it’s treated you well 👍
@@BleeCarswell i plan on getting it to 200,000👍. Has started to burn oil more, but i just top it up every few months
@@ndavies5968 Goodluck! Theres a video in that haha
@@BleeCarswell yea true, the car has about 16 years of service stamps, and two previous owners that were both car mechanics. I look forward to some more videos
secondmouse getscheese Sounds like it’s been looked after well. Thank you 👍
I've always liked the Yaris and especially the facelift t sport. Anyone who's owned one loved it
im sure its a 5 speed not a 6
Great review! I also find the Yaris T Sport to be massively underrated, i am looking to buy one as my first car and i am trying to find out if i can fit in one actually. I'm 6'5 tall, you said in your video that there is plenty of space for people, and that you are 6'4, do you think that i would feel cramped in one? Cheers!
Hey mate, thanks for watching! I don't remember saying I'm 6'4 and if I did that certainly isn't the case, I'm 5'11! I think you might be pushing it at 6'5, definitely worth sitting in one before buying.
How do you pull the back seats toward
Forward
@@J0eTo If you lean through from the front there is a handle in the middle of the seats underneath where your knees go.
@@BleeCarswell the thing inside the trunk, looks like a lever as well. Ive tried yanked it super hard but wont do a thing. Guess thats not a lever just a cargo strap anchor ?
@@daigosaito888 I can't quite remember. I think it might just be a handle for folding the seats forward.
Great review! They are indeed underrated. I don't need convincing, being a major Yaris fan already. I had two but just sold one. The one I kept is a 2006 RS into which I swapped a 2ZR-FE (Corolla engine) and then turbo'd it. It makes for a very fun driving experience with about 180 wheel horsepower and a weight of 2300lbs. I wasn't aware of all of the 2nd Gen, TS features, but there are some that I'd sure love to have on my '06, namely, the sun roof, rear disk brakes and that awesome sliding rear seat. Again, great video. Thanks for that. Here's my car, if interested.
