Is the Yaris mostly for Urban Transportation? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I read this thread and I want my four minutes back.

the OP has a fixed point of view on this (as we all do, I'm sure). If there were a hundred posts saying the car is great for highway and long distance driving, he would still have the same view, which of course he's entitled to. -- so, are we discussing something?

Yes, or No. It is either a viciuos circle or a circle jerk, and no way to tell which.

And No, you can't have your four minutes back.

Let's all just agree to disagree, ..whatever the hell that means...

OK.

The OP is suggesting that 68 mph (110 kph) is the comfort limit for the manual?

That's ridiculous.

I have a MT and it only rev's at about 3300 at 80 mph (129 kph). About 3000 at 68 mph.
That's pretty relaxed. The member with 305,000 miles posted a top speed run of 115mph with no problem.

Point is, this is a great highway car. Why do people consider small cars only city cars??? You can drive the Yaris 85 mph all day long.

I'm also boggled at why the MT is said to rev higher than the auto? The MT gets even better highway mileage than the auto. My MT is very calm and smooth on the highway.

BTW, city driving is more wear and tear on the engine than 80 mph highway cruising.
