Reverse

[Kaotic Lazagna]

my boss test drove my Yaris the other day and really liked it. however, he was concerned with the noise it makes when reversing. not sure how to describe it, but it kind of sounds like a whine of some sort. my GTI had the same sound, and i hear BMW, VW's, and FC3S's having the same sound when they reverse. should this be of concern?

All manual cars are like that, dont worry about it, unless your is an auto

it's because the reverse gears are straight cut
it's normal

THERE'S A GOOD EXPLANATION! ok, so it's normal.

If you like driving so you can observe where you have been - rather where you are going - this could be a problem.
