Last week, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) launched the Toyota Yaris G Limited. This latest addition to the Yaris lineup here in Malaysia offers improved performance upgrades, enhanced handling, and a stylish design. HOWEVER, the Toyota Yaris G Limited will be a limited run with only 600 units available and priced at RM99,600.00 (On the road, without insurance), with a full 5-year unlimited mileage warranty for the vehicle. So if you are interested in a sharper handling, slightly more powerful Yaris with factory warranty, be quick about it.
