That's only in England and in any case you can still do click and collect.

Spoke to my supplying dealer today to check expected delivery date, and he said after the Top Gear article it went a bid mad and deliveries were Feb/Mar but now after all the other reviews they are looking at the middle of next year. Fortunately mine should be here for Christmas

I cant believe i am writing this but..... I want a Yaris Its basically like an Evo but its a.... Yaris...

Ha ha, I am the same, I was watching it’s development from Easter onwards, I can’t believe I have one on order, I have never had any car from a Japanese brand.

Wife is humouring me but thinks I am crazy.

My dealer has a demo arriving 30th so should be available early December so I am looking to giving it a go.

Mine will be a daily driver that I may venture on track with maybe with my son.

Convenience Pack then uprated to a lighter / better set of alloys and PS4S tyres.

Can you buy a car without either of the packs?

Yes, it is the one advertised for £29,995.

There was a red one parked just round the corner from my house a few days ago. Was I seeing things or are they out there now?

Saw a red one on a trailer today on the M25, was a circuit pack one, looks good in the flesh!! Very tempted!!

Anyone want to buy a one careful owner Mini GP1 lol

After test driving a circuit pack car, I really want to know how a base/convenience pack rides in comparison.

How can one find this out? Is the circuit pack 10% stiffer? Or 20% or 30%? It would be really useful to know.

There's a post in the main thread with those numbers. If you can find it, the Toyota japan site has the suspension specifications.

Its more like 5% for springs and ARBs and damping. I suspect the biggest difference for 90% of drivers 90% of the time will be the tyres' the Michelins are well regarded, the Dunlops not so much.
