#34 of 53 Re: Liftback rear seat/Owner's manual [robertkn] by robmir Dec 17, 2006 (5:00 pm)
Replying to: robertkn (Dec 12, 2006 6:16 am) Running out of gas in the Yaris 07 is quite common in our country, and it happen more often in the 4 door version !!!!   We got this car before it was available in the states, since December 2005, our 2 doors is just like yours, but our 4 door version has the same body as the 2 door (unlike the one available in the states which have a trunk, ours are a 4 door liftback model).   Anyhow the 4 door version has a full digital dashboard were the speed meter changes the digits constantly acording with the speed increase o decrease. Because of this annoying change on the value of the digits, people avoid to look at the dashboard as to keep focus on the road and that is what make the driver miss the fuel gauge and notice when the last 2 bars start to blink.   This is a big flaw on the Yaris gas meter design. As you recall older Toyota models have a red reserve light which is way better as to gain the driver attention.   My simple recomendation after owning one for the last 11 months is to fill up the tank right away once you notice you are down to two bars.

Replying to: lucynethel (Dec 30, 2006 4:57 pm) How much did you lose on the Yaris? Tell us more about the deal. Did you trade in the Yaris at the Hyundai dealer? Keep us posted on how you like the Accent, MPG, etc. Replies to this message: lucynethel (Dec 31, 2006 5:17 am) keysyaris (Dec 31, 2006 6:27 pm) lucynethel (Jan 01, 2007 3:46 pm) and 3 more...

Replying to: lhanson (Dec 31, 2006 5:06 am) After owning the Yaris 6 months, only lost about $1600.00 and that includes all my tax & license so not bad. I paid $850.00 LESS for the Accent with MORE equipment and it is far more comfortable (to me). My sister gets only 1 MPG less than I did with my Yaris so not worried about that. Just glad to have a "normal" car again! The Yaris just felt tinny and cheap like my old 1982 Toyota Starlet (known as "TOILET" at the Toyota dealers back then..

Replying to: lucynethel (Dec 31, 2006 5:17 am) Congrats on your new car, and condolences on your loss. Sadly the running out of gas thing was 100% user error. It's a shame no one these days takes responsibility for their own actions. It's always someone else's fault. For me, I always check the fuel gauge when I start the car and determine whether I have enough gas for the trip I need to make.

Replying to: keysyaris (Dec 31, 2006 6:27 pm) Thanks and you are SO right on the error! The 1st error I made of course was buying the Yaris..... Replies to this message: lhanson (Jan 02, 2007 6:05 pm) lucynethel (Jan 04, 2007 6:19 pm) dake (Jan 31, 2009 7:59 pm)

Replying to: lucynethel (Jan 01, 2007 3:46 pm) I would say that you came out very well on that deal, loosing only $750 on the trade and getting a brand new car to boot. The sales tax on the Yaris probably was more than that. If you gone from the Accent to the Yaris, I don't think that you would have done as well. Is your health getting any better?

#43 of 53 instrument panel light problem by joeldoug Jan 31, 2009 (1:39 pm)
Where I live, one must drive with the headlights on when on the major highways. I don't have a problem with that, but when I turn the headlights on, the light intensity on the instrument panel is reduced to almost nil, since the car thinks it's nighttime, and why would you want that much light on the panel. The problem for me is that I can't really read the panel info, and am often reduced to temporarily turning off the headlights so I can read the panel. Does this make any sense? Anyone know a way to keep the panel lights on (at a daytime intensity level) with the headlights on?   Thanks
