Toyota Yaris I I want :)

[Jcp123]

The engine revs about 2500rpm in my automatic model, not sure about the manual trans but I'd guess it's around 2750? These are not quiet cars in any case.

The centre-mounted gauges actually didn't take that long to get used to, but I still really don't care for it. One of my least favourite features, IMHO.

The cold engine light turns off at about 50*C. You might be able to wire in a coolant temperature gauge yourself, or if you have a product such as the ScanGauge II or UltraGauge available where you are, it plugs into the diagnostic port under the dash and reports the coolant temperature to you live from the computer.

Fuel economy will depend on what that 60km of driving consists of, I don't think 5-5.5l/100km is a stretch. Mine is a 1.5 with that stupid automatic transmission and I am averaging about 5.6l/100km on a much shorter route, but with careful driving (you might call it eco-driving lite).

As for durability, it is there. I have about 400k km on mine and the maintenance was poor before I started driving it. It is nonetheless still 100% reliable and drives very well.
