Hard to understand why anyone in the UK would pay 15k for a 1,3 basic car

I would not call 625k 'cheap' for a car, it's bloody expensive for what it is

Using the Yaris as a comparison, as not all markets have the saloon version:

A Base 5-door 1.3L Yaris 5MT costs 750K Baht in UK

A Base 5-door 1.5L Yaris 4AT costs 510K Baht in the USA.

A Base 5-door 1.5L Yaris 4AT costs 556K Baht in Australia.

A base 5-door 1.5L Yaris 4AT costs 590K Baht in Thailand.

Only Americans could really complain, but everyone else in the looks at American car prices and weeps....

Am I correct in thinking that the Yaris and Vios are made in Thailand?

Yaris/VIOS (Belta/Vitz) are assembled in China, Thailand, Indonesia, Phillipines, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, and now also France

A U.K. Yaris starts at just under 10K GBP.

Paid 700K FOR Yaris & 80,000 for extras don't regret a baht of it.
