My current steed, a 2014 Yaris Icon+ with the 99HP 1.33 and unfortunately the CVT...
It is a nice car apart from the gearbox which completely ruins the whole car. It belongs to my grandma, she hasn't used it for months, I am hours away from home, and the key for my E30 snapped, so this is my temporary transport until that situation is remedied.
It has just 11,000 miles from new, averaging less than 3 miles a day! I've put about 75 miles on it today, it is probably in shock.

Another day, another tank of fuel.
Hard to put the emotions of driving these roads in a phenomenal car into words.
I don’t think you can.

Once I recover from the cost of everything in Switzerland, it’ll be getting the Sport Design Package, as I agree with you

My two in the garage, Clio 200 & V8 Vantage 4.3. Sold the R8 a few weeks back & bought the Vantage cheap which freed up some nice cash from the R8. Debating offing the Clio however it's great fun and don't need to get rid so meh.
Also have a 320d for work purposes but no one wants to see that.

Do you know when you’ll be getting it back?

No clue!
The supplier delivered loads of things around the first week of April and then whenever i've been it's just been sat. I went the end of May and they said something about waiting for a fender but i'd already ordered that myself so a little confused on that. Although translation means he might've just said the wrong thing.
I rang around 2 weeks ago and the response was they had everything and just needed some availability in the unit and then to send it to the painters. I said "about a month" and he said it should be quicker than that so in theory it should be anytime soon.
I'm not optimistic!

That whole process sounds extremely familiar, from my experience it could be a week, could be a month, could be 6 months, could be never.

Yeah, i've not really even had much discussion on what parts they've been ordering in or what the underlying issue was which caused the stall. I'm just hoping they've not fixed the cosmetic side and ignore the engine side!

How safe is Mexico to just go and do this sort of thing? We're always reading in the media how dangerous it is there so it's interesting to have some first-hand info.

Vantage is definitely a dream own for me some day. Lovely looking space, that.

Depends on the state but where I live it's very safe and a really common thing to do on weekends. That particular place is within the private neighbourhood I live in so the only people that can enter are my neighbours or people I invite. The horror stories you hear from Mexico are generally confined to particular states or involve people that are in the industry so to speak.
