New guy on forum, driving a Yaris Verso

[iikhod]

Oh and also forgot to mention, the verso is at the moment only car in the family so that's one reason not to mod it so much...at some state i'll get a small car for commute. That i can "freely" modify
Thinking about getting a swift or micra sort of car, maybe a tad bigger so i can tow my trailer with it. Had a lot of cars in the past, little strange having just one car

At least you got a versatile car. I like those small wagons, but in my country they're not so popular. This model, by the way, IIRC was never officially available in South America but I see some JDM grey imports with Paraguayan plates once in a while.

About towing: recently I've seen even a Volkswagen Up towing a small utility trailer, so a Swift or a Micra presumably won't have problems doing so.

Well that's true, at least outside the slippery times of year a small car should do the job, although it's a little bit illegal here.

Don't they have a tow rating back there? As long as you keep the weight down to that rating you're supposed to not have any trouble. Otherwise you'd be better off with another Yaris Verso or something like an early Renault Kangoo or a Peugeot Partner Origin.

Yes we do, the trailers fully loaded weight(what's the word for that in english?) is the number to go by. For example my trailer is 750kg no brakes. Almost every small car has tow rate around 400-500kg/no brakes and about 800kg with brakes.
Yes, i could get a smaller trailer for a smaller car but that's a another story...

And i almost once bought another verso, but someone bid more than me on that one

I guess you were talking about the gross weight. BTW is it out of question to fit brakes into your trailer?

Are those Euro-spec or JDM?

At the current financial state it is
It would be easier to buy an another trailer with brakes, maybe cheaper also. But i'll manage with what i have at the moment, i don't know how eager the authorities are about the trailer weight.

And they are euro spec.
I don't know are there any/many jdm yaris versos in finland?
An toyota bb would be fun, some are even 4x4 and lots of simularities with the yaris verso

Not sure if there are any JDM FunCargo there in Finland, but at least one Finnish member of this forum is a JDM enthusiast and IIRC he still owns a JDM Celica.

The FunCargo also had 4WD available.
