That reminds me that its time to trickle charge the batteries before winter... it must work, as I'm coming up on 9 years from the Delco (yeah Delco, strange huh?) battery that came new with my Tacoma.

At one time or another most of these tips have been argued on this forum.

seem like common sense issues to me

RUFFSTUFF · 11-23-2009, 07:15 PM

You would think, but in YarisWorld... not so much...

JumpmanYaris · 11-23-2009, 07:23 PM

Good Report

Not all of his points are correct, but I'm not taking the bait.

yeah right... well the article comes from Consumer Reports... so when you get your vast storehouse of automotive knowledge published, post up the link...

Yaris Hilton · 11-23-2009, 10:56 PM

Consumer Reports has often published things that were questionable at best.

Off your meds again?

Seconded, Hilton, CR is interested more in profits than accuracy...

Bob Dog · 11-24-2009, 12:13 AM

Consumer Reports recommended the Dodge Neon as its best buy, and I was stupid enough to believe them... never again

I've got the annual car issues from 1990 - 2006. What year Neon did you buy? If you feel the need to torture yourself I could post a scan from that issue for you.

j/k I feel your pain. They got me good too.

Can you provide a source link?

RUFFSTUFF · 11-24-2009, 07:51 AM

Groupthink is an amazing thing...

nemelek · 11-24-2009, 02:18 PM

For me a product has to be real good or real bad to make a review. It's my duty in life to warn others of my problems with purchases. That being said I would be more inclined to use the reviews on Amazon than on CR.

Wattz · 11-24-2009, 11:46 PM

My last car's manual strongly discouraged using higher octane fuel as it could cause engine knock.

I haven't read the Yaris manual, yet... But personally I wouldn't intentionally put anything but 87 octane in a non-turbocharged 4 cylinder based off of that prior experience.
