2010 Yaris Idle Stop Function ?
Hey from the new guy .
I need a car now but could prolong my purchase until much later this year but i just read a link posted here about a " idle stop function to improve gas mileage on the 2010 Yaris . Can anyone of you Yaris people in the know explain how this might function in the real world ? I'm not certain i would like it . I might just need to go ahead and buy a 2009 while they still idle , in a conventional manor http://http://www.autoincar.com/next...more-powerful/ |

IMO everytime you have to re-start an engine, you're doing damage to the internals.
doesn't sound like a good idea to me... (unless of course, the yaris will pre-oil the block before startup)

Thanks for the reply . It gave me something to google .
Your correct in that it does not shut down the engine . Just orients the engine when shutting it down and hot restart is almost instant . I am going to buy a 2009 . Nothing for or against that technology but i am all for simplicity at the moment and it's one less thing to break http://http://mazda3revolution.com/w...-technologies/ http://http://www.autonews.com/artic...NE03/812079955 |

Well now i am a little bummed . I see now that the 1.8 motor is offered in other parts of the world .
Nothing wrong with the 1.5 but man , why couldn't Toyota offered a sportier model for N America ? I am guessing thats what the Scion was marketed for so now , i have even more thinking to do . To Yaris or not to Yaris |

You save $0.0000005 in gas and spend 20 cents on your starter and internals everytime you turn your car on and off. I could be wrong, but I will continue to spend the fraction of a penny in gas at stop lights. |
