It's a shame that you can't have a decent stereo and satnav with all the limited slip diffs and performance bits. You have to choose, which reminds of car specs in the 1990s, when you could often have luxury equipment, or sporty components, but rarely both.
This does seem mad doesn't it? Has it ever been explained why you can't spec the car with both the 'Circuit' and 'Comfort' packs? In this instance 'Comfort' is probably better described as 'convenience' anyway!SweptVolume said:

Is also odd that you can't multi pack as i like the features of the Convenience Pack, however like the Circuit Pack more.Saying that, very few nowadays use proprietary Sat-Nav &/or Audio as mobile phone base Waze & Google Maps have pretty much won the in-car Nav market & Spotify the in car Audio, so as long as the sound quality from the standard speakers is OK or better, then i'm happy.
I've been tempted but what puts me off is is it only enjoyable if you are 'on it'? Will there be any sense of occasion when you are driving normally as you do 90% of the time or will it just feel like you are in a regular Yaris with a low roofline? The dash is also borderline unforgiveable.
I will test drive one once the honeymoon period is over. At the minute there are far too many opinions stating how incredible is it by those who haven't even seen one in the flesh, let alone drive it.

Ticks a lot of boxes on paper, but the interior rules it out for me. I'm not even talking about quality of materials, I appreciate it's based on a Yaris and the money has (correctly) gone into the engineering, but would it hurt to have a bit more flair or colour to make it feel special?
Been wanting Type-R for almost 3 years but had to get house first. Just moved into my first one so was back on the radar until this came along. It's very tempting, test drive needed, will be losing lots of space, coming from an Octavia vRS but these days I rarely carry rear passengers. As long as I can get a bike in with the wheel off that's fine.

I read somewhere it is to do with the wiring loom on uk RHD cars .Also heard that it may have something to do with the way manufacturers have to pay for testing each car. Ie the more different specs they have to pay for each one to get tested.
