BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

Ok so you might be in the market to buy a new car , ANY new car , and you may hear the salesman mentions about the bluetooth , what is bluetooth ?
well in simple terms bluetooth is like a wireless connection that can be made from you phone , most phones nowaday have bluetooth . You will find it under Settings/Connections/Bluetooth. Bluetooth comes quite handy, for instance if you have a photo on your phone that I like, I can get you to send  that photo via bluetooth to my phone, that is a free service, and its instant! instead of sending it as a multimedia text message on your mobile.
Now back to the bluetooth for the car. The bluetooth connection will enable you to connect to the car audio unit for your mobile phone, so you can use the phone "handsfree" . If someone rings you it will ring through the speaker, you answer and talk as if you're having a conversation with some one in the car. Especially now it is illegal to talk on your phone while driving , this bluetooth function comes quite handy ! it will definately save you from $250 fine and 3 demerit points! Ouch! (unfortunately I learnt it the hard way) ....hence my advice to you ... CONNECT YOUR BLUETOOTH.
Below are 2 short simple video clips to show you how to do it. One was using IPhone , the other a Nokia phone. The vehicles we used were on the Camry and Corolla . Oh by the way you will get to meet Kristy in the video clips , she's a colleague of mine, we are the two females in the dealership selling cars :)


$15990 Yaris !!

Ok so everyone must be bombarded with the tele ads on the Yaris 5 door driveaway price at $15990 . My thoughts on the Yaris .... hmmmm.... i Loveeeeeeeeeeee the Yaris, i had the Yaris as a demo car few months back , and i loved it!
they call me the "worse driver" at work , 1) being a girl 2) being an asian driver 3)the guys say i cant park . And NO im not those asian drivers you see on the road wearing the gloves behind the wheel. anyhow ...i love driving the yaris , its small and neat , i can park it anywhere, front reversed, parallel, you name it! it fits into ANY parking lot!  i had the yellow colour one , YELLOW ...its a pretty colour for a girl i named the car Bumble Bee , the car definately stand out! i had no trouble finding it in the carpark.

things i love about the Yaris
1) its small hatch back , yet plenty of space
2) cheap to run $50 bucks fills up a full tank and last me for over a week
3)has 3 glove box , and bluetooth for my mobile handsfree...no more fines ( i learnt it the hard way)
4) its zippy for a 1.3L engine
5) the digital dashboard, i love it! some people dont like it , simply they havent gotten use to it, but i found it so clear and more "modernised" its a great look!

things i didnt like
1) if you have alot of passengers in the car ALL the time , then i wouldnt suggest the 1.3L hatch,  you need a bigger engine car
well nothing else really cause i really liked it!

overall its a good zippy small car to drive around, i can see it more for the girls ...but the BLACK colour would suit any gender. you just have to cleannn more.

So there you have it , if you're looking for a small cheap run around car, give the Yaris a try!

Welcome

Another day at work, sitting in front of my computer i thought .. how about i start a blog today! always loved blogs but never had the chance to really establish one. So here it is.
here's a basic intro about myself for those to come across my page. im a female working in the car industry, i've been working at Galleria Toyota for nearly 2 years, i have a little girl she's 6 years old, who i occasionally drag into work when i cant find a babysitter, for her its a day of adventures!

First of all the reason why i want to start this blog.

1) i want to put together a page of all the "how to ..." video clips and tips in  basic terms that we all can follow and do our ourselves. all ofcourse will be related to cars, and obviously the cars will beToyotas
2) a different perspective to the car world , so other females can relate to , and males to change their point of view
3)and most important of all , just for anyone who stumble across this page to find it useful

Please leave your comments and show me your perspective!
