Toyota Yaris RS: Warming to the Yaris
Fans of true high-performance hot hatches may be disappointed by Toyota's new Yaris RS, but those seeking a decently warm five-door package combining sporting flavour with plenty of standard equipment could well be won over.
Based on the flagship of the European Yaris range, the RS is being offered as a limited edition model here at a $29,990 list price.
Power comes from the same 1.8-litre engine that is standard across the Corolla range, mated in this case to a six-speed manual gearbox. The engine is tuned to produce peak outputs of 98kW and 173Nm, which represents a substantial gain over the usual 1.5-litre Yaris, but is well short of a seriously hot hatch.
Though the body kit is thorough - extending to unique bumpers, a sports grille, side skirts and a chrome exhaust - its overall effect is discreet.
