Deceleration Fuel Cut Off. (I speak of my knowledge of my 2008 RS 5dr liftback automatic).

When the gear selector is in D, and you are coasting for more than 3 seconds above 1250 rpm, the ECU stops sending voltage to the fuel injectors, which means no fuel is going in to the engine, and no fuel is being consumed. If you are over 1250 rpms, and move the selector to 3, 2 or L, it's instantaneous - there is no 3 second wait.

nothing like going down those big hills for free!

Base L, no power windows:

If you have a bottle of water, in the door holder, any basic store brand size. You will bust your knuckles on the bottle cap rolling down the window.

When you use the remote to lock the doors, the "unlock" button inside the car NO LONGER WORKS!
I found this out the hard way when the wife locked the keys in the trunk in a rainstorm on the weekend. If I had known this, I would have went for the trunk release first...

Well I like the 'my car came with a back seat I think I'll leave it in' look
If I get a yearning for the 'gutted' look, I'll add a Chevy Express Van to our collection!

One thing I uncovered while fiddling with the radio (PT546-52120) in my 2012 Yaris was the EQ came preset for a five-door instead of a three-door. On page 9 of my radio manual, I learned I could set the EQ for my car's body style. Not sure if anyone has mentioned this previously, but it was news to me.
