u gotta be kiddin me?
They love the fit because its more sporty... but it takes you an extra second to get to 60, and 1.5 seconds from 45 to 65.... while getting lower MPG... The fit doesn't look sporty, nor does it even compare on acceleration, but its so much sportier, huh?? Just going off those numbers, I'd say the yaris held up extremely well...and considering it hits the nail on the head where most people looking for a car in this segment want it... decent acceleration, great MPG, and proven reliability. I'd say most people looking for a cheap commuter car just want something they can hop on the highway with, and it doesnt feel uncomfortable. On that note, who's driving for the 0-60 and 1/4 mile? Those times seem piddly slow... I know it doesnt take me over 11 seconds to get to 60... |

That is what I am wondering... I have had a buddy hang onto my watch while I was punching it and we got sub-9 seconds for a 0-60. Am I crazy?
edit: other than speeding in a Yaris, that makes me crazy by default... I'm just talking about the times.

I'm assuming with the auto they just floor it from idle, and with the stick they actually launch it... only reason I can account for the auto times, and the big difference in times.
The auto yaris floored @ idle IS slow, but still, 11+ seconds??? lol |

The 0-60 time with a manual 5 speed is 9.5 seconds from what I have read.

From the seat of my pants, I think I'm getting about 6.5 second, but that's cause I'm only going up to 85km/hr before I snap it from 2nd to 5th and let it coast back down to my 70km/hr cruising speed, while on the streets. If I had better rubber, I could shave an extra .5 sec off that time since keeping the rubber from burning out is tricky business. Also, I doubt this car would bog down after a hard drop, so getting stickier tire should really help with with 0-60mph (0-100kmh)

Oh my God, that ninja chopped that man's face off!
You didn't do a 6.5 0-60. I think that was what he was getting at. Get your clock checked, I think they scammed you! |

0-60km/h in 6.5 seconds is not unbelievable, maybe that's where he got confused?

as eTIMEaGo noted, pars is probably referring to 0-60km/h
(no need to get bitchy with one another, just a cultural misunderstanding.) edit: i just reread pars's original post myself, and realized that he is talking about mph |

Nope. I admit, it was the confusing post, but I was referring to 6.5 sec to reach 85km/hr (which works out to 53mph). The reason why I used such a weird stats, is that racing up to 85km/hr seems to fit nicely into first and 2nd gear's power band (plus less chance of attracting police attention). Since I'm good at squeezing the most out of my car and it was a good day, I'm sticking to my numbers. |
