Yaris - do you find it comfortable on long trips? - Toyota Yaris Forums

SpaceShot · 04-26-2009, 09:38 PM

I put on 125 miles/day and I do find the seat bottom a little flat after an hour. I simply got some padded seat covers from PepBoys and that seemed to help.
Someday I'll take the time to get some Scion XB seats from a salvage yard and put them in. Just that little bit of extra side and front bolster on the Scion seats seems to make a difference for me.

I did put in the aftermarket cruise control on a Saturday afternoon and it helps when we go on vacation trips. We have driven over 6-1/2 hours at stretch without any difficulty.

The Yaris has the same HP to weight ratio as some V6 vehicles. Off the showroom floor its not a racer or a super economy car, but you can tune it in either direction.
