Weird feelings from my new yaris

[Julz]

Hi everyone , I got my new yaris a couple a weeks ago and Ive noticed some wierd differences between the echo I had, like when changeing gears the engine is still reving and and the major lack of responsiveness (sry cant spell) when taking off from lights . Is this normal ? :iono: and the clutch fells weird aswell.

Engine size is only 1.3 ltr

[Black Yaris]

ok Julz those funny feeling inside, everyone has them when they start going though puberty...... wait... you were not talkin about those feelings http://www.toledotuners.com/phpBB3/images/smilies/duh.gif

you are feeling the drive by wire and the hydrolic clutch..... they take some getting use to... you can get a grounding kit to get rid of a bit of some of the lag from the drive by wire

I think you'll get used to it after a few days of driving.
Oh, and you spelled responsiveness correctly, BTW. :thumbsup:

Forgive my ignorance, but what does a grounding kit in the engine do?

The Yaris is about 250lb heavier then the old Echo while being more fuel efficient. Perhaps the extra weight is more noticeable with the smaller 1.3L, but once the car gets moving, it should feel as quick or quicker then the old Echo. Also, there's the brake-in factor.
