Can't believe I hadn't seen this thread before.

Currently rocking out in a 6spd M/T M235i, slightly modded.
Before this was mostly a crap load of Audis, and before that a few VWs, Renaults and an Opel.

Okay

I take exception to this post - it was NOT R800k, only... an amount slightly less than that.

Goes like a stabbed rat, though.

GR Yaris Rally

The supra (new but previous version) was on sale at ZAR 660 000.

Why this car? Just curious

Because the Supra is a BMW Z4 wearing a Toyota badge.

The Yaris is also enormously more fun. It's a manual, turbocharged, four-wheel-drive, limited-slip-diff-equipped hot hatch that weighs less than 1.2 tonnes. What's not to love?

ZAR 882 000

I get you. It's a helluva lot of money for a car, let alone a small Japanese hatchback.

But...

You can look at it the other way: it's a helluva good deal for something that's better to drive than a Golf R, an A35 AMG and possibly even an M2 (depending on your persuasion), all of which are more $$$ than the Yaris.

On your 'R700k for a Toyota' point, the Supra cost more than that when it first launched. With that figure, you're barely scraping the bottom of the Land Cruiser Prado barrel and you're nowhere near a Land Cruiser 300 or even a plaas-bak-spec 76.

I totally get where you are coming from, its a small hatch back rocket.
and it should retain its value.
I cannot fathom having such a car - a car that literally costs the same as a small house in certain parts of SA.

700k barely gets you a down payment here

Reminds me of something I once heard:

"Yes, you can sleep in your car but you can't drive your house!"

Nice!

But is the red one dirty with diesel soot at the back? That seems to be a tradition for 1.9 three-door Polos and Ibizas in South Africa...

"Yes, you can sleep in your car but you can't drive your house!"

I'm curious. Where did you hear that? Was it out the mouth of a person that owned a house and saw the value in appreciating assets? Was it perhaps a millennial or a teenager?
That's some horrible mantra for anyone to follow

800k for a Yaris? Essentially those little cars all over the place, albeit somewhat dressed up a bit, that looks like a South Easter will blow it over?

No offense at all but... Dafuq?

I mean, I don't have a fancy R400k+ car but I do have a K20 swapped Honda Jazz.

These Cupras can be kak fast, I raced a black one back in Joburg in my old 135 ( It's on page 3 of this thread ) And it gave me a good run for my money from a rolling start. A demon.

Yes it is unfortunately with diesel to make it go faster you add fuel and air

Thanks man, I appreciate that.
