not if it rolls run flats or has a repair kit in the boot.

Nardi, while what you are saying is COMPLETELY true for QLD, Varvs is in NSW, and their laws might be different.
i dont have a spare in the boot of my 8, car comes standard with a 12V air compressor, bottle of tire weld, some plugs etc all in a neat little box strapped to the strut tower
comes standard with a enkei space saver as well but i removed that

[Varvs]

I personally would rather a space saver. those tire weld kits ruin your wheels and can mak them a bitch to rebalance (not to mention once that stuff is on its gonna be hard to clean off)

i'd think it's the same for all states as many cars are sold with run flats or repair kit from brand new.

but maybe i'm wrong.

I'd rather a tire repair kit as its 10cm*20cm
If I have a blow out i will not change it anyway. Hate using the scissor jack, the short single arm wheel brace is shit and I have seen too many people die as a result of being hit in the side of the road. I have racq for a reason
The tire repair kit is to keep police off my back

[Nardi330]

damn no free roadside assist. will need to keep my RACQ subscribtion then.

Just got back from the Toyota dealer in Morley. They have one booklet on the car. It has all the specs/stats color codes. I can tell you guys now that the low spec model will be 35k max and the high spec just under 45k. they are looking for people to put 500 dollars down and sign contract pending the price. I could feel them reeling me in trying to get me to lock one in.

Those are sucker prices. You can get them down lower i'm sure. Personally I'll probably get a low spec one and just do my own upgrades over time. At the end of the day it's a RWD 4 banger without forced induction. I wouldn't want to pay anything close to a WRX price for this car.

They didnt say. I'm just gonna wait until the first wave of cars arrive and find out what they will actually sell them for. Then take it from there.

Good news armythug, $35k is more realistic & will do the same as u, base model & build it to my liking!

brz better keep it under 40k like they said it would

I hope so too, but according to what this review says, its probably unlikely to stay under 40k

Pricing hasn’t been confirmed, and could still depend on what the Yen/Dollar exchange rate looks like when the car goes on sale in May/June. It’s likely to exceed $40,000 for the well equipped ‘high-line’ version, which gets climate control and leather seats, with the more basic ‘low-line’ car stripping some of the toys and likely to cost a couple of thousand dollars less.
