Replying to: micweb (Feb 25, 2009 2:25 pm) funny I figured this 1.5 would get better mpg than my 1.8 Corolla 05 LE. I get bout 30 or better on that with same driving. I don't yet know what this Yaris would get on a long trip, but my 05 Corolla has got up to 44 mpg at times. |

| Well, not to confuse things, but my wife's auto Yaris Sedan holds steady at 30 mpg in city driving. 25 seems low to me. | |

My son just bought a brand new Barcelona Red Metallic 2009 Yaris base sedan this past Monday, and I must say, I am very favorably impressed by that little car. His car is an automatic with power windows, power mirrors, and power locks, and it has remote keyless entry. It also has cruise control. I bought a Chevy Cobalt last June, and I like it a lot, but if I were in the market now, I would sure have to consider the Yaris. I'm sure I would get better gas mileage with the Yaris, althought the Cobalt does pretty well. Tom

Replying to: tsjay (Mar 22, 2009 7:39 am) import the Yaria without the feature. Toyota Canada makes it available as a 'Convenience Package 2.' It is an option, true, but at least it made available to customers if they want it. So, for US customers, you have to buy the Corolla to get that feature as part of an optional package. |

My son allowed his attention to be diverted for just a second while he was driving, and he dropped the right side tires off the pavement and brushed a mailbox. It appears that no paint from his car was removed, but some paint from the mailbox was transferred to his car. What would be the best way to get that paint off without harming the clear coat on his car? Thanks. Tom |

you can get paint sticks from the Toyota dealer that will paint over an area and then the other side of the paintstick provides you with a "clearcoat" application after your paint job from the paint side of the stick has dried. However, I would gather more input on this one. I'd hate to see him make more of a mess than what's there now. Let us know how it goes, OK? I hope you guys find a good and inexpensive solution to the problem.

I'm hoping to find a way to remove the foreign paint without damaging the clear coat on his car. Tom

Thanks for the kind replies to my question about removing paint from my son's car. I decided to call the body shop that has always done such great work for me over the years. Both my daughter and my son had a few fender benders as teenagers, and we gave that body shop a lot of business. They have a well deserved reputation for excellence, and I would not consider taking my business anywhere else. The manager told me to drive the car over to their place tomorrow and leave it with him for the day. They will give me one of their loaner cars to drive on to work. I will let everyone know how it turns out. Tom |
