#2551 of 2559 Owner's Manual? by dake Apr 21, 2008 (9:17 am)
So, maybe someone on here can answer this. I've read on some forums, people referring to the Owner's Manual in a manner that suggests their Yaris came with something more than the little quick reference guide that we got in ours. So what's the consensus? Did your Yaris come with a thick Owner's Manual (like all my older Toyotas have) or did it only come with the little reference guide? If it did come with a thicker manual, are you in Canada or the States? I thought it strange they didn't offer the regular manual anymore, but now I wonder if I'm just missing it.

Replying to: dake (Apr 21, 2008 9:17 am) My 2007 Yaris bought in Memphis, TN came with a 311 page owners manual.

Hmm... yeah, my '07 liftback purchased in Newport, RI came with the same 311 page owner's manual. However, no quick reference guide. I don't think that was out yet, so I had to download it from the internet! Replies to this message: neatnick79 (Apr 22, 2008 6:07 am) dake (Apr 23, 2008 9:37 am)

Replying to: neatnick79 (Apr 22, 2008 6:03 am) On another note, at www.toyotaowners.com, you're able to view all the chapters of the owners manual in PDF format I think (you'll have to register)... but they should still have given you one with the car.

Replying to: neatnick79 (Apr 22, 2008 6:07 am) Thanks for the responses. I'm going in Monday to have them look at my TPMS and I'll get one then.
#2556 of 2559 Re: RPM with a manual [yee] by mcmanus Apr 29, 2008 (2:44 am)
Replying to: yee (Mar 18, 2008 7:15 pm) Yeah, I like lower rpms too, but this is a small engine and the laws of physics seez its OK for them to run faster (just like small animals versus large, etc.). Back when I was in engineering school it was called model analysis.   IMO 1.5L engines are too small for 6M or automatic trannys. 6M would be very "long legged" in top gear and the engine would lack torque to avoid lots of down shifting. Automatic transmissions (except in top gear where it might be a direct connection) are less efficient and so rob power from the tiny engine.
#2557 of 2559 2007 Yaris Fuel Mileage by nightfrog65 Apr 30, 2008 (9:51 pm)
My 2007 Yaris 3 door LB has a 5 speed manual, and has over 19000 miles on it after 1 year of driving. Here's my fuel eceonomy:   100% Highway: 40.5 mpg Combined Average Fuel Economy: 37.7 mpg   I drive about 25 miles one way to work, and average about 50% highway and 50% city driving. Average highway speed:65-70 mph.   It's a good affordable sub-compact for those looking to save gas money; It's definitely not a Ferrari or Escalade, so it shouldn't be judged by the same standards as a luxury SUV or sports car.

Replying to: nightfrog65 (Apr 30, 2008 9:51 pm) Plus the liftback is very unique looking. I just wish Toyota would stop treating the liftback as a base model only and offer it with the same options as the sedan. This car needs a tach and cruise control as a minimum.

Replying to: bottgers (May 01, 2008 5:21 am) bottgers...   I'm not sure of availability in your area, but Toyota offers the Yaris in "S" form which has a tach...there's NO cruise control, though...   I do agree with you about Toyota and their apparent indifference to the Yaris 3dr, in both base AND "S" models...Cruise would be nice, a power sunroof, a Pioneer audio system similar to what Scion has in its three lines, and Vehicle Stability Control would make this little critter really stand out, IMHO. Perhaps the 2009 model will include these goodies as options, hopefully.   Peace!<-AladdinSane-<-
