Does your car ever have "slow" days? - Toyota Yaris Forums

The answer is humidity. Then temperature. Then if the A/C is on.

Test it, next time its really foggy, or raining a lot, you wll notice immediately the car is slower. Same with warmer weather.

And of course the A/C when engaged uses around 20hp.

20hp? really? That seems like an awfully lot from our 106hp engines... I would think it'd be a little more noticeable then it is, if it's that much...

I 100% understand about what everyone is talking about. Some days my car just is horrible. Then other days its the best thing ever. Its weird, and i only use Shell gas. I have never put any other gas in there. And usually the car acts bad on colder days.

i'd say my yaris is groggy in the morning, or late dewy nights; including the clutch...but then again I have a feeling that it might just be me, haha

Really? Around 20hp, just for using the A/C...roughly = to the total drivetrain loss for our Yaris?
