Why do some Yaris sedans have a tach?

[RedHatch08]

This is a weird quirk of the Yaris.

I have an 08 hatch with a stick. No power package and NO TACH.

This is probably my number 1 gripe with the car. I think if it's a manual, it should have a tach. End of story.

Yes I can drive the car just fine without it. I just think it's a basic guage, and it's not like it's a luxury or something.

The car has that worthless gimmick Tire Pressure Monitoring System which is complete and total bullsh!t.

If cost is the issue, take out TPMS and give me my tach.

The tpms is only in the Yaris because it's a government requirement as of all 2008 models. Notice it wasn't in the '07's.

I agree with you though, a tach should be in all models as well as a proper temperature gauge. I also wish the Yaris had a traditional analog gas gauge which gives a more precise estimate.

This is SO true!...I had 4 nails in my rear passenger tire and the PSI was 13 and the TPMS did not come on to tell me this, I just happened to gas up and and thought I should check the air in my tires then I realized I must have a nail in my tire, couldn't believe I had 4! Guess, its time to purchase some new tires!

As for the tach, I was told when purchasing my HB (auto) that it comes with a tach as part of the power package.
