Even With The A/C - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah, even with AC these easily do 40+ mpg. That's why I question those who will sweat in their cars to save gas.

Hey Kaotic, an off topic question since you mentioned car-pooling: With your 17's and lowered suspension, does your car maintain enough wheel clearence with 4 people in it? What is the estimated weight of the four people?

Sometimes I and 3 other large adults (I'm 260 lbs and the others average about 220) pile in and it sinks my stock suspension on stock wheels pretty low. That type of load really taxes the Yaris but it handles it (although it is well over the factory recommended weight capacity).

I ask because I will soon be getting rims and lowering springs and don't want to run into issues (although most of the time it's only 1 or 2 riding in it)..

Thanks man.
