So when I went to Melton to check it out and do my contracts, they told me that there won't be any car or test drives until tomorrow.

So imagine my surprise when their Facebook updated an hour after I left saying they had a car and had been doing test drives all day.

Went in to Werribee Toyota today... They had a silver GTS manual and a red one in auto, Finally got to see it in the Metal!!! Absolutely just fell in love with it.. imho, photos do not do it justice. like most reviews have said.. It was LOW specially the seating position, I am 165cm tall for size comparison. Putting an order in on Wednesday, I am not waiting for my father's employee discount..

Salesman by the name off Lee was very helpful with finding information on the employee discount

Whoa! This car gets sexier in every photo!! How did you find the quality of the interior? Did it feel like a Yarris inside, or more refined?

RANT*

so i have a preorder at a dealership which havn't recieved any 86's as of yet.

today i make a call at another local dealer asking if they have 86's, the guy responds yes.
i politely informed him that i have an order elsewhere but ask if i could come have a look, no test driving.

i get a really rude response: NO, go look elsewhere. I ask why, he says without even answering my question: NO

F*** YOU A*****T TOYOTA. BIGGEST W*ANKER SALES PERSON EVER
