Very awkward times for those who defended the launch price without any logic!

Some of the replies were outright funny. Some said Toyota doesn't want Yaris to sell in big numbers and that they are planning to maintain exclusivity while some were hell bent on trying to convince all that Toyota will Never Ever give discounts.

This right here is a perfect example of how you should Love/defend the car and not the Brand . Hope people learn.

PS: Hope people support the current owners in getting some refund or some extra offers like extended warranty for free. This was heavily discussed during Scross 1.6 price reduction saga!

Can someone call out what is the engine oil recommended for the Yaris as per the Manual? (In terms of 0W 20, 5W 30 etc type of ratings?)

Test was for front impact only, point to be noted here is how the part from the A pillar to B pillar crumbles! BUT I don't think its fair to compare our Yaris with this hatch, God know what modifications were made to it!

If Toyota could get their Indian version tested and get 5-stars, it will surely boost customer confidence, just like how Nexon gained good popularity.

Just read these figures of just 600 units in the month of November and the car is being rated as a big time flop launch of the year among the sedan category. I am told that there was no production in the month of November by a Toyota dealer of NCR. A friend who is taking the delivery of his car tomorrow has 0818 as manufacturing date. Company and its dealers are busy liquidating old unsold stock.

Yes. That's correct. As per figures from http://www.autopunditz.com/ following are the sales figure for sedans in this category in Nov'18

Ciaz: 3838
City: 3531
Verna: 2558
Rapid: 809
Yaris: 600

Toyota is not Hyundai, Maruti, Tata or alike brand.
Innova took about 2+ years to really establish itself as a de facto MUV in India too... Its a slow learning market.

Just bought the Yaris Vx CVT variant in pearl white. The initial sales pitch was the discount is up to ₹1Lac depending on a combination of offers availed. After pushing them around with, "OMG your sooooo expensive compared to the Verna and the City", got the discount increased to ₹1.25 Lacs without conditions.

Chose the Yaris because the Verna felt cramped compared to the Yaris and it's rear coupe-like roofline caused a few hits on the head when entering the car.

Another important reason was Toyota's reliability, so I know the car will last years without hiccups. Delivery is next week, shall try to post a few pics etc then.

Congratulations on your purchase. Welcome to the Yaris owner club in team-bhp!!!. If I am not wrong, you are the second person to own Yaris in our forum. I will look forward to your ownership report.

Congratulations mikem! I think it is a very wise purchase. If I were in the market for a sedan, I'd go for it too. Bulletproof Toyota reliability + Safety specs + 1.25 L discount make it a very sweat deal. Wish you many miles of safe and happy driving.

Congratulations on the purchase. Can you please share the break up of 1.25L - the reason being when I enquired about 1L discount as being marketed, I was told about 40k discount on car loan(which means only if you are getting financing from Toyota) + 15k on insurance which means only if you are getting insurance from Toyota) + 25k as exchange bonus (which means you have something to exchange) + some accessories.
Most of the above discounts were not applicable to my case. So just asking if 1.25L discount which you got on similar lines.

It was a flat ₹1.25 off the final invoice. No finance, full payment.

Invoice includes TOYOTA return to invoice insurance cover, extended warranty and I did remove one accessory from the standard accessory package. That’s all. It wasn’t much of a haggle, finished the negotiation in five minutes.

Found it to be a good deal as the total was close to the Verna and Honda offers. If TOYOTA makes this a permanent reduction they will easily double their Yaris sales.

Can anyone suggest good accessories shop in Delhi (preferably West Delhi) to get good beige colour Mats and illuminated scuff plates for Yaris ?

Had a TD today here in Bangalore, was told that there's a cash discount of ~ 1.2-1.3L on the 2018 models. Also, all variants (2018) seems to be in stock! I was even told that the prices of 2019 models is expected to come down and that the exact pricing hasn't been revealed yet (kept pressing for the pricing but to no avail). Liked the car but will check out Verna and City (and the offers they can come up with) too before taking a decision.
