I notice now that when I switch from 1st to 2nd gear there is hesitation she's not as eager as before. I assume it's because of the Kumho tires, they are inferior compared to Dunlops sports tires which came with the Yari. Toyo tires I recommend as well.These tires get the Yari scooting along beautiful. I haven't changed the transmission fluid in 5 years. I just changed the spark plugs, cleaned the TB and MAF. But that didn't really make much of a difference.Her engine note is a bit harsh.Guess she's getting old. |

The base model 2 can be purchased for under $14,000 . Wonder if they'll make a 2 with the Skyactiv technology for around the same price ? Be nice .

Although I run the engine between 2,000 and 3,000 and rarely above 3,000, it never goes below 2,000 under load. Any long downhill stretches get 5th gear regardless of rpms. (whee!... ![]() |

I located the speed limiter within a few days of buying my Yaris...
Average shifts for me are around 2000-2500. When im hypermiling its more like 1400

I've been driving small cars since 1958. The only time I have ever damaged an engine was when someone said to keep the rpms down. My old Minor ran 15mph/1000 rpm, ie 60mph/4000rpm. I never had a problem with that engine. There is no real problem with running high rpms on a small engine as long as it is serviced regularly!
The Yaris engine is dead reliable, regardless of how it is treated; it is likely designed for 500,000 miles or more, so worrying about it is pointless... |

^^^^^This. If my Yaris pretty much maintains the same level of reliability I've seen so far, I'll likely get another one when 'the time comes'.
