this is only one of many models that don't have one. Chevy Cobalt, VW New Beetle, yes Fit and Yaris, and now the new Volvo S80, weighing in at about $25K or more base price. Cobalt is not the only GM car without a temp gauge either. In the age of computer-controlled-EVERYTHING under the hood, temp gauges are going away ladies and gentlemen..... |

I just ran our new 3 door lift back out of gas on the freeway. The Police got me a gallon to at least get me to a gas station withing 15 minutes. But I am worried. My husband ran his Taurus out of gas and it caused the fuel pump to burn out and it cost us almost $600.00! The Yaris started right up but does anyone know how bad I hurt it by running it dry? I'm scared to tell him but know I have to. I have never done anything like this before and i swear I never would have if that speedometer cluster was IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for any help, Lucy

Replying to: boris13 (Nov 02, 2006 2:24 pm) The 2nd biggest reason I am selling this car no matter how much I lose is the cheapness. I get off work and it is dark out. I get into the car, start it, turn on the lights. While the floor shifter (auto trans) is lit up, there is NO GEAR "INDICATOR" to tell me what gear I am IN! Just plain stupid and cheap the more I drive it. I test drove a Hyundai Accent that was so much nicer and better equipped but I wanted the Toyota reliability. Not any more.

Replying to: spaminajam (Nov 02, 2006 2:40 pm) It is an economy car. Inexpensive for Toyota to build, and inexpensive for the owner to operate. It may have less features than what most Americans have come to expect. In my view, the Yaris liftback offers American drivers in 2007 essentially the same thing (albeit with more sophisticated technology) that the VW Beetle offered American drivers in 1960: economy, reliability, simplicity, durability. On that level, it seems to me that the Yaris succeeds. (Remember, the VW had only a speedo and a fuel gauge, and it came with a lousy heater, but we all loved it anyway. It was a hit.) You could have picked the Accent... but then you would have gotten much worse real-world MPG and a build quality that's (still) inferior to the Toyota (not to mention less in projected resale value). But yeah, the Accent certainly comes with more bells and whistles. I gave the Accent SE hatch a serious look before deciding on the Yaris.
