I've never thought they get in the way; in fact, I never even notice them to the point I forget about them until someone sits in the back seat and raises one and forgets to put it down again... |

I drive ALONE mostly and the DRIVERS seat head rest is INSTALLED - I would NEVER let anyone ride in my Yaris without a head rest !!!
I keep the PASSENGER head rest in the BACK and install it before a passenger gets in - the back seat headrests are in a box in the basement, anymore than 2 people want to ride, they can take a TAXI, |

That's the 2ND Generation rear head rests, they disappear into the seat (pretty cool...) The 3RD generation head rests sit on top of the seat, they do not fold or magically disappear unless you remove them...

Ahh, makes sense. I wash my Yaris either in my driveway, or (more often recently) at do-it-yourself stall car wahes (each stall has its own drain, one overhead hose ends in a 'gun' that gives you 10-12 rinse/soap/etc. options for your dollar, another overhead hose ending in a brush, side walls shared with adjacent stalls, one roof over all the stalls, and a different set of stalls for vacuuming), so removing the 'tab' wouldn't effect me. Good to know though . Also shows that 'the tab' isn't something dealers neglected to remove during delivery.

I may be wrong on this, but I think both generations (2nd and 3rd) are the same on this...and what makes/causes the difference re the rear seats is if the rear = 60/40 or bench....with bench = having the 'sit on top' headrests that you and I have, and 60/40 rear seats having the integrated rear headrests. If I'm wrong, someone will likely weigh in with the answer.

True, but for now I'm willing to take the chance. If the rear ending offender is uninsured/underinsured, I have really high limits. No complaints yet re missing headrest (I must admit though, your post is knawing at me via my natural paranoia...when next in CA, I'll grab 1 or 2 of my 3 headrests that aren't at my cousin's house).

The only exception I've made to this is driving my little cousin's VERY CLOSE FRIENDS (whose parents I know) and my little cousin somewhere. I don't want my cynicism/skepticism/etc. re this to intrude even a bit into her childhood.

Mine has 3 cup holders and 6 bottle holders if you count using the cup holders to hold bottles too. I checked out the 2015 Honda Fit today and cant imagine giving up all the cleverly designed features my stunning 2008 Blazing Blue Yaris LB has for that thing. Plus that thing looks uglier than the 2014 Yaris.

I've actually found them out of the way, which is fine, because if I'm driving, I'm not having cupped beverages in the car. And whoever's in the back gets nothing.

Location of cup holders keeps your coffee warm in winter (heat on), and your drinks cold in summer (AC on).
I've always joked that Toyota would get in trouble for the placement of the cup holders, I cant remember how many times I've spilt hot coffee on my pants. I usually put a piece of paper towel in the cup holder to minimize the damage. |

Tired of that pesky Maint req light?
Turn it off yourself. step 1: put your trip odometer to trip A Step 2: turn the car off. Step 3: using your left hand on the key and your right hand holding down the button to reset the odometer in, turn the key to the on position and keeping holding down the button. It will do a few cirlces and show 2-4 flat lines then your mileage will come back and viola the maint req light is gone. Reset the trip odometer to normal, trip a, trip b w/e you use. Now your done, have a cookie! |
