Any news on 2013 Yaris (non-hybrid) models yet? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yaris_Fan · 07-08-2012, 07:53 PM

direct fuel injection/CVT in the future?

why? · 07-08-2012, 08:47 PM

since the 2012 is a much different car, i doubt toyota will do anything to them for a while.

Turbo diesel would be cool,sun roof,5 or 6 spd.,at.,trans.,different tailights

Afraid there won't be such a thing. How about adding an aftermarket canvas top like this ?

Currently considering.

I wonder, to what extent KPL/MPG would be reduced with such an installation on a Yaris?

IllQueens · 07-12-2012, 11:00 PM

Upgrade Engine to 2ZZ-GE 1.8 VVTL-i but would be happy with 1ZZ-FE and Entune...

12 yaris · 07-13-2012, 07:19 PM

There might be a small increase in price for 2013....
The iq will increase 120.00.....

12 yaris · 07-21-2012, 05:19 PM

installed one of these in a van a long time ago...

I love my hand cranks. I also love how my 2012 L has crank windows but power locks. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

edmscan · 09-01-2012, 12:14 AM

One of the things I love about my Yaris ... is that I don't have to roll up and down them damn windows anymore. I have never had a car before that has had power anything. My Tercel, Civic and Accord sure never had ANY fun power toys so I am happy now.

So to me ... I am loving all the power toys (love the power locks too) that my Yaris has. As I bought the car used .. I really didn't have to pay for the toys. I think that they were just those nice to have items. Am I worried ... no, it is a Toyota.

Besides as far as I know CTScott (and he is the Yaris god after all) is adding power toys to his latest Yaris, so if they are reliable enough for him .. then they are reliable enough for me.

I agree with you re the power locks, but not the windows. One of the comments (same webpage) about the 2009 article I mentioned above put forward a scenario where the battery might get crushed in an accident. What if you have the windows up all the way and that happens? Could make for a very dangerous scenario. Even if damage in an accident extended to the driver door, if you could roll down the window even a bit, you'd likely have a better chance of breaking the window to get out. This 'power to the windows cut off in an accident scenario' isn't part of a reliability equation, so it doesn't matter that our cars are reliable Toyotas.

I do agree that the mentioned scenario could happen .. but really I will accept the odds and not lose any sleep over it happening.

Really at that point .. if I cannot easily break the window, I would depend on the fire department to get me out. This is the reason that I always carry my cell phone in my pocket when I am driving. Just in case something happens.

When I was typing my previous post I thought, well HE'D be able to break the window (you mentioned your height and weight on some threat about driving comfort), but someone very diminutive and petite might not be able to. I decided to leave that thought out and see if you'd mention it. Obviously, people are different and have different reasons for having the attitudes and feelings that they do re certain things. I am what some might consider unusual combination of glass half full adventurer with some Chicken Little the sky is falling (but can also be truly falling) thrown in. My giving the battery scenario thought probably falls within the Chicken Little realm

. The issue isn't a deal breaker. If hand crank windows disappear, that won't prevent me from getting a Yaris or a Prius C, I just STRONGLY prefer the hand crank windows.

If I'm 'on the fence' mileage wise re being ready to get a new car at the time hand crank windows go away (I'm thinking 1 year from now) this issue might be enough to get me to buy early. If that date ends up being a few weeks from now (when the 2013s come out) that is too soon and not enough to get me to buy at that time. Some of the new (to them) issues that some members ahead of me in miles have been having recently have made me think that I'll re-evaluate keeping this particular Yaris (as opposed to trading it in on a new Yaris or Prius C) once I get to 300k miles rather than going 'hog wild'/no doubt to 500k+ miles.

I agree, except one of the things I don't like about the 2012 (even the L) is that you can't open the hatch with a traditional key.

Why manual windows? In three words: weight, reliabilty, and cost.

safety (and reliability). I also wonder how much the extra weight would hurt MPG (probably negligible).
