Insulating the Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey all! I was wondering if there was a way to insulate the Yaris (temperature wise). My friend's Sentra is much warmer than my Yaris in the winter after getting into it at night. I do keep a blanket in the back, but it's a little inconvenient when driving.

It is probably more about the seats than anything else. With all of the glass, any car will lose heat outside over night. If there is any moisture trapped in the seat cushions (from a spill or accidental leaving open the windows during a rain storm) the thermal transfer of the cold is even worse.

Adding heated seats is really the ultimate solution. My wife will only get in my Yaris that I installed the seat heaters in during the winter. She hates Crashy 2 right now because of the lack of seat heaters.

Put a thermometer in the Yaris and the Sentra.

Im thinking they will read the same.
