Replying to: lhanson (Aug 07, 2008 10:13 am) If the drink is a hot coffee, then locating it in front of the A/C is a stupid idea, in my opinion, and I, for one, don't like the design. And when I've stepped into the car from 100 degree heat sometimes it's comforting to feel the air from the vent on my face, and not have it blocked by my drink. I hope you're not trying to suggest I shouldn't feel the way I do about this, because that's just ego. My experience is my experience, and someone could learn from it and make their own mind up about it.

Replying to: lhanson (Aug 08, 2008 6:38 am) And if I like hot drinks in the summer and iced tea in winter, it's my business, just like your NOT drinking anything while driving is solely yours. I appreciate the suggestions on how I might deal with the problems should I decide to own a Yaris sedan, but it's my decision to make, not yours. Thanks again. |

You know what my Yaris sedan has? It has a little knobby thingie. If I want the lights on, I turn them "ON", if I want the lights off, I leave them "OFF".  Sorry, but DRL's seem to be a waste. If they truly made a difference, they would be mandatory. The fact that they are not speaks volumes. Night? Raining? turn the lights on. Middle of the afternoon on a bright sunny day? nope. Though my one gripe about the headlights in general is the fact that my '87 Celica had automatic-off headlights. If you left the lights on after the car was shut off, the minute the door opened, the lights went off - it's a very simple switch. Why, twenty+ years later, has this apparently been relegated to the lofty heights of high-dollar vehicles? Anyhoo... Otherwise, it is a great car. The speedo hump could benefit from being turned ever so slightly towards the driving side, like the old Echo's was. It also has more front legroom than the Corolla (as does my Echo). I think they purposely limited the rearward travel of the seats to artificially increase rear legroom on the Corolla. I don't haul four people with any sort of regularity at all, so I like my seat to be able to slide back as far as possible most of the time.

Replying to: dake (Aug 09, 2008 5:36 pm) Actually a lot of inexpensive cars have this feature. Why more cars don't have it, I have no idea... as you said, it's a simple thing to do. |

On a side note, you can set the forum software to not send you an email every time a response is made should you so desire; you'll still be able to see what's new when you log in. Anyhoo, no, I don't really care about DRL's. I'm glad my car doesn't have them, but I wouldn't have not bought it if it did. I think you're pretty much spot on with your overall assessment. My only real gripe with Toyotas are the random little things they seem to not do that are standard on most other cars. I think Toyota knows they can get away with it, b/c they're great cars otherwise. My particular peccadillo is variable speed intermittent wipers - but I've beat that dead horse enough. The good news is, before I swapped out wiper controls, I also had a switch I could move whenever I needed to.
