The Toyota Ist is one of the models we bring in from Japan for Kampala. We source it at auction in Japan, inspect it, and land it at our yard in Nakawa — tell us what you want and we find it.
The Ist packs hatchback practicality into chunky, almost-crossover styling — a 1.5 or 1.8-litre city car that looks tougher than its fuel bill. The high seating point makes it easy to place in traffic.
It is a Vitz-class ownership experience in tougher-looking clothes. Parts commonality with the wider Toyota small-car family keeps maintenance ordinary in the best sense.
