Aren't these cars Drive-By-Wire? That would explain the throttle lag.

Frankly, I don't feel any lag. May be the electrically controlled throttle can be adjusted by the dealership.

I have the sedan A/T and haven't noticed any lag whatsoever. I think it's a littie snappy, but I don't mash the throttle either.

I thought it was me and it might still be but on my LB 5 speed it seems that on a dead stop take off it's alittle hard to feel the first bit of throtle push somethimes. I always like to take off with as little throtle as posible to keep from wearing the clutch and on the Yaris it never seems to feel the same, I am getting use to it but I really think that it does have a tiny bit of lag.

I have an AT and there is a little lag but all my previous AT cars also had the lag. You really have to be careful merging onto interstates with cars going 75 plus mph, it takes a little time for the Yaris to get "up to speed"....

I think automactics by nature especially ones in this class are going to have "lag." It just a matter of mechanics and gearing and its an automactic, although they changing...

No, I don't notice any lag. But you really have to push the car into high revs to get the right shift point for quick acceleration.

Yeah... you have to plan your heel-toes WAAY earlier with throttle by wire... kinda sucks, makes me miss my aw11.

Hey try this with your yaris. With your trans is in netural and the engine runing stab the gas to the floor and release as quicly as possible, nothing will happen. Then you will know what I am talking about.

MPG is the new cool
|
I have, in the last few days, really become aware of a heavy throttle lag. When I really hit the gas yesterday to avoid being creamed by another car there was a nervous moment when NOTHING happened and then the car finally took off. Today I tested the throttle response and found that a quick jab to the peddle will result in a fairly long lag. I don't know if this is by design or a design flaw but it's the first thing about the car that really blows. Not getting the gas when you need it is dangerous.
