Auto news on Youtube Oct 28 2017

When it first arrived in 2014

the Wigo managed to become one of Toyota's best selling models

thanks largely to a number of factors aimed at its target market

Its size is an ideal carriage around our congested streets

Its got a relatively frugal 1.0L engine

and the sub P600,000 price tag

is a very good price point for first time car buyers

When I say sub 600,000 I mean P1,000

But hey! A thousand peso savings Is

still a thousand peso savings

As such, Toyota intends to maintain the local market's

positive response to the Wigo with this refreshed 2017 model

If you're familiar with the previous model

spotting the differences on the new Wigo won't be that difficult

Let's start with a new bumper. Of course a new grille…

you've got new headlamps and a new hood

The side contours are pretty much the same

however, you don't need an eagle eye to spot

the new alloy mags and turn signals on the side mirrors

Here at the back it's easy to spot the changes too

Its got sharper taillights, a new bumper, and a spoiler

so it gives the Wigo a more striking, more aggressive look

Trunk space is, well it's adequate as you can see

Its got enough space for overnight bags and a bit more

The interior has design updates as well

For instance, the instrument cluster

which now incorporates a small screen to tell you what gear you're on

in this, the automatic variant

The air conditioning controls have gone from 3 knobs to 2

and considering the size of this car, its got a massive

touchscreen infotainment system with optional nav

Here at the back, the Wigo's natural sitting position is elevated

which in turn gives you a surprising amount of legroom

like you could fit 2 large adults back here

But, let's be realistic considering the amount of

cabin space that you have and limited elbow room

You'd be better off with fitting 2 average

to below average size Filipinos back here

Powering the Wigo is a carry over engine from the previous model

However with this one, Toyota has integrated its VVT-i technology

which in turn, gives it a slight boost in power bringing it up to 66hp

Now, when I say slight I mean 1 horsepower

But hey, if savings of a thousand pesos is a thousand pesos

then in this car, 1 horsepower is still 1 horsepower

The fixed steering wheel is a bit heavier than the previous model

which other people tend to like. I personally would prefer

a lighter steering because

well the Wigo is meant for within the city streets after all

In terms of ride comfort, well you're not gonna get an Altis like ride here

I mean you don't have to drive around like Ms. Daisy's at the back

but, it is a 1-liter engine so you should drive it accordingly

At the end of the day, it does what it does well

It brings you from point A to point B away from the sun

the rain and the soot of the city

The Wigo does takes sometime to reach higher speeds

and the cabin acoustics could use some help

because of tire and wind noise it does get pretty loud in here

once you reach 80km/h and above

Overall, the Wigo's features which include

front and passenger side airbags

make it a very strong contender in the hotly contested

subcompact hatch category

This 2017 Wigo G automatic is available at P599,000

which at that price point makes it great for those

looking for a small car to ferry them through city traffic

🚗 Importing a Toyota Aristo JZS147 from Japan, picking it up in Long Beach Part 2 - Chris Sakura - Duration: 13:14.

Alright, we're in Long Beach

Round two of trying to get this melon farming car

And where is my driver?

Lloyd, where are you?

Come get me

Lloyd, there you are!

I need to get over on the other side, I guess.

Better wait up for me cause I gotta be there before 11 o'clock or else they go to lunch until 1

Hi, I'm guessing you're Lloyd?

I'm Lloyd! Hey Lloyd!

I'm headed to the pier.

Which one?

Pier F.

Boy, the cops are really in force today, man.

Ok, Jesus Christ give me a flippin break you asshole

GPS: Continue on Pier F Avenue...

Well, this is a first for me. I've never been around here before.

Alright, well this is my second time

Yeah, there you go.

Keep going?

Keep goin.

It's gonna turn off to the left and then all the way down

Alright, so you see this stop sign? You can just drop me off here cuz I have to go check in at the gate right there.

Oh, the gate over here? Yeah

Oh, I'm gonna go ahead and make a U-ey then Okay

Thank you Lloyd!

Ok Christopher, well listen, good luck on your drive back

Should be ok today.

Come back to Vegas sometime!

I will, at some point

I'll see you, thank you

Alright, we are here. Let me get my TWIC card out so we can get this marine faring car

Alright so last week, you know how they just let me in?

just showed my TWIC card and went to the office?

This mindful defender gave me a gate pass.

Let's go to the office and pick up my whip.

Slap that moving permit on it.

Let's get this friendly car

I'm ready man.

Where is my car... is it in there?

Is it inside? I don't see it, hang on.

I'll be right back.

Chris: I'm looking at the tags

Staff: Here, I'll get it for you

Staff: Can't have you taking your selection here

Staff: Which one do I want?

Chris: Yeah, lemme get all of em Staff: I grabbed the wrong box, that's why

Chris: Uh oh

Staff: Sign down there... There's your key.

And you take this.. so you're gonna check in to the clerk's office, I'll show you where to go.

Is there a way for me to check the car out, check the fluids to make sure everything's okay?

Yeah, if there is a problem you file it with the steamship line.

You're gonna go to the right side of that warehouse, are you driving or are you walking?

I'm walking.

Ok, so just to be safe, I dunno if you wanna walk around the outside or whatever but just um

the right side of the warehouse right past the corner of it

you'll see some stairs going up into an office. Go up the stairs and them hand them your paperwork.

Your car will be parked right down there too. Chris: Ok

Alright? If there's any issues just talk to them, they'll help you out. Chris: Alright, thank you

I guess I got to go check out with the clerk

I mean, everything's already paid for. I guess it's just some last check that you gotta do

And my whip is over there so let's go

Is this it? I think so

Man, personal escort to the car?

What is that over there, a Skyline?

Yup, that's the one that doesn't have a key.

Wow... and there's another one

And then there's mine

And there's another Skyline!

And a Soarer!

Holy smokes, and there's two more Skylines over there!

Driver: Oh yeah

This is so awesome.

Alright, aw man *sniff sniff*

Smells like a new car from Japan

Yep

Wow, holy smokes this is clean!

You know what? This thing only has 15,000 kilometers which is like 9,000 miles

Driver: Yeah? Wow!

Yeah!

Less than 10,000 miles on it for a freakin...

Driver: What year?

92

Holy smokes!!

Let's see, it said that there was like some kind of scratches on the passenger side door

That's... they swiped something.

That's not too bad.

Yeah, I saw that. That's not too bad.

Driver: Nah, that's superficial Chris: Oh yeah.

Driver: It's a 92, it's got less than 10,000 miles on it

Mechanic: That's over there, right?

Yeah it only has like 15,000 kilometers on it

What I don't understand is why we have to wait 25 years to get them

I don't know what their safety standards are but they're probably the same if not better than American safety standards.

Why can't we just bring the cars over, you know?

Let's see what we got here.

Woo buddy!

Driver: Alright, she's all yours!

Man, this is awesome

Mechanic: Yeah, the AC is running. You got AC too.

Alright, thank you sir.

Driver: Alright, safe travels.

Alright, thanks guys!

Dude this fresh ass whip.

This fresh ass whip, bro!

This is what I came to pick up.

This Toyota Aristo is what I came to get.

This whip is so dope. This whip is hella clean.

This whip only has like 9,000 miles on it.

Look at that. Fifteen thousand kilometers

These little Skylines over here.

The dude was saying that that one over there doesn't have a key.

And how the hell are they going to drive it?

Dude, there's a Soarer right here

There's another Skyline right here.

Dude I wonder who picked this up? And who picked this up?

And I want a kei truck now.

And, what is this a GTS?

Dude, this whip is beat to crap.

Wonder what somebody paid for this piece of scrap

Pacific Coast?

GT Air?

Is that the GT Air?

I can't afford no fancy GTR.

But this?

That one is..

What happened over there? Broken sideskirt falling off?

But it's all good, I got my whip.

I need to get gas. I'm just gonna pull in and fill up because

that's how we do it in Japan, man.

You don't turn off your empty car to fill up your gas tank.

Let's go!

That's all you need, right?

Alright, got gas.

Now we're just cruising through downtown Long Beach

Anyway, I am headed to Torrance right now

I'm gonna go post this whip up in front of John and Chiyo's work.

Hilarity might ensue.

Look at this guy right here.

I'm just gonna chill right here.

Let's see if this guy can come outside

What up man? This mild fellow saw me roll up

Dude look at the engine bay man hold on

Chris: Dude. John: Woo...

Chris: Look at how clean that whip is.

John: The plastics haven't yellowed as much as I thought they would.

Which is good, it means it was stored in good condition

Chris: Whip is doooope

John: The belts are good. That battery's AC Delco

Hell yeah.

Chris: Look at this guy. John: You mind if I post this?

Chris: Pssh, go ahead John: Or you wanna keep it a secret?

Nah, go ahead.

Alright, so he had to go back inside.

He was pulling on the door handles, he was like dude they got so much spring in em like it's a brand new car

Anyway, he told me that there's this carwash spot just like right around the corner, so let's get washed up.

Oh I feel mentally handicapped because I need to be on the other side

Please select uh...

Punch my face

Let's LOL here.

You know what? I need to get out. That's what I need to do.

Is that how I need to do things now?

Just get out and go to the other side?

Thank you sir

Oh.. soapy suds.

Get it all over.

Thank you come again

Let's see what kind of a shady car wash we got.

Wow. Still got some dust spots but this is a major improvement.

Yeah, we're gonna have to detail this motor vehicle.

That we're gonna have to fix

but uh... other than that

This motor vehicle is so clean

Alright mang, if I want to avoid the traffic going to Vegas I need to pretty much leave right now.

Cause like around 3 o'clock we won't be rewarded until like

7... 8 o'clock so...

Let's dip out mang

This is why I hate LA

I think next time I will pay the extra money to have that whip put on a truck because

This is some bullcrap mang

I LOVE TRAFFIC

DUDE. One hour and I'm still on this 210.

Filthy traffic the entire frustrating way.

Can you see all that traffic over there?

The entire bloody way it's been traffic.

Piss.

Off.

Let me off this bullcrap freeway, come on.

See there over there in the distance?

The horizon?

That is the Promised Land.

And we are going way too fast.

I do not want to get pulled over on the last like two miles of California

Funk. That.

Here we are dood.

Goodbye California!

Welcome to Nevada.

I need to wipe this filthy window

Chris: Gimme some light. Eric: Your bumper's a lot shorter

I'm here at Eric's house and we're just looking in the car

We found a 100 yen coin in the flawless backseat

You said "open that" Let's see what's inside

Those are.. these things are in the ashtray in the front Eric: Is there more change in there?

Umm.. no?

You sure?

Yeah we found a receipt in this car too

What are you doin diggin in there?

Jasmine: Why do I feel so comfortable digging in this car? Chris: He went to the Health Bank

You wanna wat?

I feel so comfortable digging in this car but I would not do it in an American car.

Yeah, because Americans are filthy.

Is there beads in this one too? Yes, there is beads.

Jasmine: Is there anything in here?

No, I already looked under there.

Eric: Do your backup sensors work?

Chris: Uhh... I... don't know.

Oh snap!

Jasmine: It's like six inches.

No, a foot! Chris, you got a foot.

Are you kidding me?

Eric: Wait, stop

What the funk

Jasmine: That's crazy!

Dude, what the funk Toyota

How come Toyota could not bring this car as is to America?

Eric: Oh snap I just realized this says Aristo on it

Oh yeah, I knew about that.

Eric popped this open, I didn't even bother to look inside this when I first got this fabulous car

But Eric opened this up

and

Why on earth is this in here.

With this you could have smuggled a kilo of cocaine in this car dude.

These marine freighters didn't even check this whip?

I thought everything was supposed to be cleaned out

like nothing loose in the car but what is that?

I mean, does anybody want this drink? I'll mail it to your ass.
