No street driven engine should be shifted at redline "almost all the time." More revs equal more wear per mile. Racing engines are generally shifted at redline, but most of them have to be rebuilt on a regular basis. You can safely red-line the Yaris's engine (or any other street engine in good condition) on occasion (e.g. when merging into traffic, accelerating hard for the fun of it, etc.). Another user scanned and posted this. It shows recommended shift points for different driving conditions: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/att...9&d=1224720740 |

OK, maybe a little off topic but this shifting pattern works best if you drive for the best fuel economy (so you do not need fast acceleration):
shift to 2nd at 10MPH shift to 3rd at 25 MPH shift to 4th at 35 MPH shift to 5th at 45 MPH

How do you know that 11 MPH, 24 MPH, 33 MPH and 46 MPH wouldn't be better, for example?
