Just bought a 2007 Yaris hatchback and have some questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you guys, but I appreciate the feedback. I installed one of those MPH apps that uses my phone's GPS and it showed that I was going maybe 2-3 MPH less than what my speedometer was showing, but otherwise it was pretty close. Does that sound about right? Also, some of you mentioned looking at the speedometer at just the right angle so that might have something to do with it being 2-3 MPH "off" in my eyes.

Also, I just can't shake the feeling that the car is slower than it's supposed to be. It just can't seem to get out of its own way as of late. The good news is as of my last tank I got 37.5 mpg. I see first gen Yaris' on the road all the time and they're flying to say the least. Maybe I'm just being paranoid or maybe it's time for a tune-up?
