Description

Hi, I'm Matt, and with a heavy heart I'm listing my first car. This little hot hatch has genuinely been the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel it's one of those cars that puts a smile on your face every single time you drive it. This isn't your standard Yaris. The T Sport is known for its sharp handling, and this one feels planted it honestly handles like it's on rails. It starts first time, every time, and being a Toyota, it's incredibly reliable and smooth to drive. It's had a new clutch fitted a few years ago and has been well maintained, along with a fresh MOT for peace of mind. The bodywork is very good for its age, with only a few expected age-related marks. The interior is spotlessly clean, with sporty yet comfortable seats, and a driver-focused feel with the steering wheel and gearstick. It also comes with steering wheel controls and a sunroof, which is a nice bonus. I've put a lot of time, effort, and money into making this car even better: -Professionally welded rear wheel arches for added strength and longevity (800) -Upgraded to Tein S-Tech lowering springs (approx. 35mm front / 38mm rear drop) for improved stance and handling (200) -Rare Japanese import Tommy kaira exhaust sounds incredible without being over the top (340) -Tinted rear windows -Debadged rear for a cleaner look This is also a great first car surprisingly affordable to insure for what it is. I was paying around 1,400 a year with a black box at 17, which is very reasonable for a sporty hatch like this. This car is perfect for someone looking for a fun, reliable, and slightly unique hot hatch. It's cheap to run, easy to maintain, and a great entry into performance cars. Only selling because I'm moving to London, otherwise I'd genuinely keep it. Feel free to message me with any questions or to arrange a viewing I'd love for it to go to someone who'll enjoy it and look after it as much as I have.
