YARIS SECRETS

[Sodium Duck]

The mirrors also fold foward as well.

[falkor_99]

on the back seats there is a little side pocket on the 60% fold down =0 pretty sweet

[Sodium Duck]

The pocket is supposed to hold that seat belt retractor plastic thing on a bungee cord thing for kids.

[falkor_99]

or business cards =P

[Sodium Duck]

hahaha

or a taco.

the brace underneath the rear seats in the LB act as a.. well... center brace... so there's no real need to buy that under-chassis brace at all...

figured this out when i took off my seats..

I yanked my rear seat right away, and eventually bought a underneath brace. So, did you put your seat back in? I use all that space too often, plus I save a few pounds, even though it's also a little noisier I guess.

here is a shocker for everyone that owns a hatch!!! the hatch weights 14 lbs. more than the sedan, and its due to the extra security for it won't collapse when flipping over... in the U.S.

My dealership disabled it in about 15 min.

It was the first one they'd ever done


Show them the manual and they can't deny it

the slot next to the handbrake is perfect for holding a computer hard drive

The rear bumper snaps into place. The car weighs 2200 lbs. The stock muffler comes in and goes out on the same side. The max RPM is 6500. The car stops at 117 MPH. The stock air box has a 1" inlet for air, 2 air filters that are super restraining, and weighs far too much. The engine gets hot after it's been running for awhile. USA Yarii seem to have a cross threaded A/F sensor in the exhaust manifold. The stock header is only 1" in diameter at the smallest point. The rear wiper has a clip-on it that can be broken off or cut off to allow you to change and clean it easier. Some cars do not have a cabin air filter. The stock oil is Synthetic, but the extended warranty only covers regular oil, so you have to pay $8 to get the right oil put in your car. The low jack system really does work. The correct place to plug in a Tach is at the OBD port (where the dealership plugs their thing in to read what your car is doing). The engine travels over 5" when you rev it up. The catalytic convertor acts as a resonator as well as a catalytic convertor. You can change the look of your car simply by scratching it with rocks (I have great kids, and luckily they are still alive... barely). The stock auto can go from 0-60 in 11.6 seconds. The highest recommended speed for the Yaris is 68 MPH. I will post more stuff later. Drive On!

Really? the yaris was filled with synthetic oil in the factory, any links?

Ok if you have power windows and power seat, you can lower your driver seat to flat just like a bed lol.

I don't have a link about the oil, but my car was purchased new in June this year and the oil is / was clear...I could hardly see it on the dipstick. After being driven 3000 miles, the color is now light tan.

I'm wondering about the other statement.....where is the link that the maximum top speed should be only 68 MPH?

Hi Debby, sorry to break it to you, but "Oil color does NOT matter. Some people feel if a oil is not black it is not doing its job.

Others feel that clear like new oil is a better oil.

Bottom line is color does not matter.

Take care, Bill "(this is a quote from an oil site, i know i am an oil nerd lol...)

I was just saying I thought mine was synthetic because it was clear oil when brand new. I don't like black oil at all.
