So I'll be picking up the MR later today, what MR-specific points should I watch out for when I inspect the car?

I've already had a brief look at it yesterday, couldnt find any traces of rust on the brake discs/exhaust or noticeable marks on the paintwork. I Had a hard time convincing the new sales guy I had mats and touch-up paint with the car (seems like the previous sales guy 'forgot' to pass on the extras) s:( :( s:(

Also the car is booted with yokos - are these the standard toyota wheels for all new MRs?

The current wisdom is the Yoko's are Toyota's prefered tyres, with Bridgestones coming in second place if there aren't any Yoko's around.

Thats a relief! I read it on another thread (along with the checklist) but typical, I forgot where I placed that link

I tried my best to find any faults on the car but MR T did a very good job in preparing it for me.
I did notice a lot of head turning, could have been the car, the colour or me driving in the rain (without roof) s:D :D s:D s:D :D s:D

Its a bit far for me to drive & I have zero navigation skills (would even get lost with sat nav).
