Toyota IST Review

The Toyota IST is a five door hatchback that was introduced to the Japanese market in 2002 to compete with the Honda Fit that was popular at that time. It’s based on the Toyota Vitz platform and they share many components such as the drivetrain and many others. The second generation that entered the market in July 2007 brought about many radical changes and gave the IST an SUV posture. It’s based on the second generation Vitz but its bigger in all dimensions. It comes with 2 engine options; 1.5L and 1.8L that are coupled to either CVT transmission or a 4-Speed Automatic Transmission and available in both 2WD and 4WD. The 1.3L engine from the previous model was abolished. If you are looking to Buy the Toyota IST in Kenya, the time is now as the prices have come down lately.
