Just received my Liftback and like it so far. The auto transmission seems quite sophisticated, like it knows what's going on and acts accordingly. I noticed the rear seat back has several little patches of a picture of the rear seat with an anchor. Is it telling me that I can remove the rear seat and stow it in or out of the car? Also, my owner's manual I received is for the Sedan. Do they have a manual for just the Liftback? Thanks, Dave

I have a Automatic Sedan and the Gear Indicator is just left of the speedometer. I always know what gear I am in. Maybe there are ones without on different Yaris's? I keep track of my Gas Milage on my phone (PPC), so I am always looking at how much gas I have. Every pump is differnt. The fuel could be the lubricant and the coolent. Just like a submersibale water pump, the water is the lubricant.

Replying to: spaminajam (Nov 14, 2006 5:36 pm) There certainly are markings near the shift lever to indicate what gear you're in. I think what you're saying is that those indicators are not backlighted. So what? You can tell the gear selected by feel (once you know the gear order) or you can pop the overhead light on for a second to check visually. This is obviously a make-or-break point with you; it evidently has ruined your Yaris driving experience. Oh well. Again, I'm glad I ordered a manual transmission model; it sure beats going insane over gear indicators...

Replying to: ednadc (Nov 14, 2006 7:24 pm) I can understand being upset if you're car was damaged due to running out of gas. But, I don't think you can blame the car because you ran it out of gas. I do think, however, that it would make more sense to build the instrument cluster in such a way that the gas guage is on the same side of the cluster as the steering wheel. I mean it's not like the Yaris gets such great of gas mileage that the clock is more important than the gas gauge.

Replying to: robertkn (Dec 12, 2006 6:16 am) While I feel bad for the OP and her experiences, I chalk this up to "operator error". It is very hard to miss a flashing signal in your car indicating you need fuel. Also the items she complained about the car are things you observe on a typical test drive. At some point, you have to take responsibility for your actions and not look for someone to blame. |
