The official "my Yaris handles bad on the highway/with crosswinds" thread - Page 8 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Fishbulb · 03-21-2009, 01:21 AM

In fact, I have noticed that my Yaris handles forward driving forces with no crosswind perfectly, the "blow around" happens with any crosswind over 7 mph.

I will try cracking all the windows next time I encounter sidewinds to try to see if venting some of the force thru the cab might settle the dart factor.

For you, not for me. Im actually fine with the dart factor.

Lower profile tires. The soggy,tall sidewalls on the OEM shoes were horrible on the Newport Bridge (RI), but switching out to 16-inch wheels and lower sidewalls cured it right up. 70+ on the bridge i na cross-wind now is pretty good - you feel the wind, but don't get tossed.

the yaris is not meant for windy places

is japan windy?

Yawesh · 03-21-2009, 10:04 AM

for those who have horrendous experiences driving ur yaris against the wind(mostly from the sides)

for NON modded Yaris(no suspsension,etc upgrades)

Looking back on it even with my "Toyota Racing Development" rear anti sway bar I just take turns even faster now. I consider myself a spirited driver.

The most significant problems happen at 88 mph

...... if I am not paying attention and hit a cross wind I go Back to the Future and leave flaming tire tracks on the road

DUDE i'm not talking to you
