Toyota Vitz Mk1 1.5 RS, one of the most desirable and fun versions of the first-generation Vitz.
This is the 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE engine, producing approximately 110 HP, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The 1NZ-FE is well known for its reliability, simplicity and excellent fuel economy, and was used by Toyota across many models for many years.
🔧 Mechanical condition:
The engine runs beautifully and is clean, smooth and reliable. The engine uses a timing chain rather than a timing belt, reducing the need for regular belt replacement. The gearbox and drivetrain work as they should. The car has been properly maintained and is mechanically in excellent condition.
🚗 Why the Vitz RS?
The RS version gives the small Vitz a much more sporty character than the standard models. It is small, light, quick and extremely easy to drive, making it an ideal city car while still being genuinely fun on the road.
It is also very economical to run, easy to park and inexpensive compared with larger cars. The manual gearbox makes it even more enjoyable to drive.
🎵 Upgraded audio system:
The car has a significantly upgraded sound system, including:
* JBL speakers
* Large-screen navigation/multimedia unit
* Alpine subwoofer
* Upgraded audio setup for a much better sound than the original system
The interior is clean and has been looked after.
✨ Exterior:
The car is clean and well maintained, but please remember that it is an older car, so there are some cosmetic signs consistent with its age. Nothing is being hidden or presented as a brand-new car. Overall, it is a clean and honest example that has been cared for.
If you are looking for a small, reliable, economical and genuinely fun Japanese car, the Vitz 1.5 RS is a great combination. The 1NZ-FE + manual transmission + lightweight Vitz chassis makes this a particularly enjoyable package.
🇯🇵 Original Japanese engineering – simple, reliable and fun to drive.
