Can anyone tell me the difference between the new Yaris T3 and TR spec levels (1.4 Diesel 5 door)? I can only find one difference and that is the TR has alloys which the T3 doesn't appear to. What is confusing me is that the TR appears cheaper than the T3 (or has better discounts).

T3 is aimed at company sales and has discounts for fleet sales etc
TR (R=Retail)is aimed at the private punter and there is less discounting

Thanks for that. I am considering a Yaris on a PCP deal and noticed that the TR was £500 cheaper than the T3 after discounting. This seemed at odds with the relative spec levels which seemed very similar.

Toyota often do a TR or SR version to stimulate sales. It's a sort of limited edition wiuth a few extras and a list price lower than the version it's based on usually the T3. I haven't looked, but it's probably on their website - www.toyota.co.uk
Edit - I have now, and it is. You get alloy wheels and £500 of the price of a T3.
Someone cleverer than I can probably change the heading of this thread. It's about the Yaris hatch rather than the Yaris Verso which was so ugly it never sold well in the UK.

Thanks. That seems to bear out what I have seen.

Toyota website, build-your-own-Yaris, states that TR has over T3:
- 15-inch Savara alloy wheels with locking wheel nuts
- Chrome boot trim
Thinking about one of these to replace our 02 reg 1.0. At £8413 from Drive the Deal (3 door) it seems pretty competitive.

...that's the 1.3 TR petrol - we don't do enough miles to warrant a diesel.

I should have aded - if you can afford it, go for the 1.3 rather than the 1.0 which is on the sluggish side whereas the 1.3 is excellent and doesn't feel slow even compared with SWMBO's Mini Cooper.
My daughter would agree with everything HJ says in his road test. The Jazz is a very good car with more room in it than the Yaris, and a cleverer rear seat folding arrangement (cleverer than most other cars, come to that) - but the Yaris is definitely livelier and more fun to drive.
