3dr liftbacks

I'm looking to get a 5spd manual. It has a tachometer right? How long did you guys wait when buying one? I heard there were long waits for one. I just want a base model with AC.

You know, I bought my 3d LB witha 5 speed. I can't remember what all it had as far as 'packages', but I got the upgraded stereo, rims/tires, umm.. dunno what else.. I have manual windows and locks.. but I was shocked to find that I did NOT have a tachometer.. I didn't even ask about it (I had ordered it) because I figured every stick has a tach.. When I went to pick it up, it was a shocker to me.. actually, I didn't even notice really until the next day.. haha!

Anyway, if you want a tach, make sure it has it in there

you got it in Texas? From what I read, the US models don't have a tach for some odd reason. Where as I heard that the Canadian one has them. I'll have to go check one out soon.

No tachs in the liftback... only the sedan.

All Canadian Liftbacks (Hatchbacks...) Have a Tachometer Standard. Period.

Yes, that's great. wonder why they changed it for the US? And is this a digital tach?

According to this article, it mentions a tach. And on toyota.ca, it mentions a tach too. I just wanna know for sure. I have to see for my self when I go for a test drive.

"There was one big problem with the interior though. Just like the Echo, the tachometer, speedometer and fuel readout sit in a central cluster above the instrument panel. It's a great idea that takes little time to get used to and makes for safer driving (as your eyes aren't leaving the road so much), but in the Yaris, the gauges all face straight back, whereas in the Echo, they were tilted toward the driver (makes sense, right?). It was sometimes difficult to see precisely how fast I was going in the Yaris. It's a little thing, yes, but it's the little things that set these little cars apart.?

No it is Optitron Analog...European/Aussie models get digital...

Even better, I'm not a fan of digial tachs. but even if it was digi, it's better than nothing.

no in bc. yeah I don't see to many 3drs here.. I see a ton of 5 drs.

I got one.. it took about a month.... you may be able to find one incoming... but 3 dr and no ac... g/l... I don't think many dealers would have ordered it in that particular configuration... and if you're lucky enough to find one, you'll probably have a hard time getting the color you want... the only real option is to put money down and have them order one and have it built for you... the only problem is that this could take maybe 6mths????

We're just substandard here, we get Bush, no tachs, diesels or 5 doors.....oh and we get none of the substandard medicines sold in Canada (tongue in cheek)
