Well GR Yaris to be precise.
So tempted to preorder, but also lusting a 981s
I know those are very different cars, and the only ones I like.
Thoughts?

Wouldn’t the circuit (track) pack make it harsher on our not so great roads?

Same dilemma!

Actively looking for a manual 981 GTS whilst also having put down a (refundable) £800 deposit for a GR Yaris.

May end up with both if I can get my man maths right with the wife biggrin
A £800 refundable deposit for Yaris GR? How?
The only option I see online is a £1500 non-refundable reservation fee.

I was under the impression it was 100% refundable Where in the t&c’s did you read that it wasn’t?
To be precise, t&c’s clearly mention that £1500 is in addition to the cost of the car, not a deposit. Have a look, I saw it there. It’s refundable if you change your mind prior to signing the paperwork I believe, otherwise it’s that plus the car cost.

I read through the t&c tonight. The £1500 is fully refundable if you cancel and is also refunded when you buy the car. They state that the £1500 will not be used as part payment to the final price of the car. Not sure what the angle is with this.
“£1500 will not be used as part payment to the final price of the car”
That’s what makes me think it’s a fee that is refundable only if cancelled.
I didn’t see anything about it getting refunded in all cases, I’ll need to read again.

Well if the new Yaris GR is anywhere near as good as my GRMN it will be worth owning, proper fun car that can really fly down the twisty bits , saying that we ran a cayman for 5 years loved that also , for most people , the fact you can say you own and drive a Porsche will be the decision made . I would go for the Toyota, pure drivers car , and not many expect a Yaris to be that quick , which at times is fun .
Nice looking car!!
