2016 Toyota Vitz 1.3 Automatic | 105 k km | Fresh

If you’re after a super-reliable, cheap-to-run daily driver that still feels modern inside, this Japanese-import 2016 Toyota Vitz is hard to beat. Powered by Toyota’s bullet-proof 1.3 L chain-driven engine (no timing-belt worries) and smooth automatic gearbox, it returns real-world economy of ~5.5 L/100 km while qualifying for the low €200 road-tax band. At just 3.9 m long it slips into the tightest parking bays, yet thanks to clever cabin design it’ll seat five adults comfortably and swallow a week’s shopping with the rear seats up. The car was sourced in Yokohama from a Grade-F auction (no accident history) and still carries its clean Japanese chassis with zero rust – a big advantage over many Irish cars of the same age. Underside photos tell the story. Paintwork is the attractive factory Blue (8V7) and still pops in the sun; only a couple of honest stone chips up front. Inside, the dark-grey cloth seats are immaculate, never smoked in, no pet hair, and the plastics haven’t suffered the UV fade common on UK imports.
