Toyota Yaris I I want :)
Hello bros :)
I am going to buy Yaris I due its great durability but before I make final decision I must ask for few things. My goal is Yaris after lifting, it is 2003 and newer IIRC. Engine 1.3 VVi, benzine.
Cheers. |

The engine revs about 2500rpm in my automatic model, not sure about the manual trans but I'd guess it's around 2750? These are not quiet cars in any case.
The centre-mounted gauges actually didn't take that long to get used to, but I still really don't care for it. One of my least favourite features, IMHO. The cold engine light turns off at about 50*C. You might be able to wire in a coolant temperature gauge yourself, or if you have a product such as the ScanGauge II or UltraGauge available where you are, it plugs into the diagnostic port under the dash and reports the coolant temperature to you live from the computer. Fuel economy will depend on what that 60km of driving consists of, I don't think 5-5.5l/100km is a stretch. Mine is a 1.5 with that stupid automatic transmission and I am averaging about 5.6l/100km on a much shorter route, but with careful driving (you might call it eco-driving lite). As for durability, it is there. I have about 400k km on mine and the maintenance was poor before I started driving it. It is nonetheless still 100% reliable and drives very well.

50*C is much too low for engine to be called "normal working temperature". Example here in Netherland it is -1*C. If I drive my car at V gear @80-90 km temperature drops up to 85*C. Now imagine in Poland where it can be -15*C. Driving with under-warm engine could bring bad things to it. Quote:
My daily route is 16 km village roads - up to 70 km\h, rest is highway. My driving style is like granny one so.... it is important for me this car wouldn't eat 8 liters per 100km even if I drive higher than 130-140 km\h. Of course I am talking about 1.3 engine. Quote:
