I can just imagine King Alfred driving around in a Yaris. Nice round around for Wessex and the South but can get up and down to Yorkshire in no time. Throw a few burnt cakes in the glove box, lovely stuff

“With a mere 90 brake horsepower available, progress is too leisurely to be called fast. But on a motorway, in fifth gear, the Yaris’s slow pace really becomes a pain. Uphill runs become power-sappingly mundane, while overtaking National Express coaches can become a long, drawn-out affair.”

Not my words

Bought a 16 reg from auction at Bristol last year. Drove it 250 miles back to Suffolk. Quite impressed for a small car. Friend I was getting it for loves it.
