Next, for making it cooler in the car, is to add window tinting.
I bought the largest one they sold at Wal-Mart. It is still not tall enough. Rather than flipping the visors down, I have to take the visors out of their clips to keep the sunshade from falling down. For such a little car, the Yaris windshield is rather large.

I am thinking about biting the bullet and buying a custom fit one.

I use one, in Nor-Cal it's a must!
I've had it for about 10 years. It is the two circle kind, that you hold in both hands and twist to fold up, into a smaller circle. It works great and fits easily into the pocket in the back of my seat.

I use a custom one too. IntroTech. I swear by it. The generic ones you have to replace every few years because they just fall apart. I've had my IntroTech one since 2008 and it's still holding strong! My partner's IntroTech was defective so they just sent us another one per their lifetime warranty. I've also bought them as gifts for people in Las Vegas and they love them. It was a completely necessary splurge for us at $29.99.
