Is the Yaris mostly for Urban Transportation? - Toyota Yaris Forums

If there could be a 6th speed to the manual Yaris, wouldn't you guys go for it, or would you say, nah, we prefer a 5 speed that revs 3500 rpm at 130 kmh.

I would say, heck, bring it on.

And yes it would be a good idea to put bigger wheels on the car to lose 200 rpm or so on the highway.

Maybe if I had 15 inch tires instead of my 14, that there would have been a 100 rpm difference.

And what's your case? Trying to influence my personal opinion on this issue?
This is a discussion board, and if you can't deal with other people's opinion, I guess you shouldn't even post here.

NO one should be trying to please others here because its a Yaris forum. Say what you like and hate about the car like I'M doing, without making personal childish remarks.

My case, and this is my last post in this thread, is that if you think a 14" wheel will give you higher rpm than 15" wheel, then you do not know enough about the subject to give a valid opinion. If someone else would care to take over here, I would be eternally grateful. If not, c'est la vie!
Out!

There I proved you wrong.

Damn, I didn't even notice that the first time around.

I haven't noticed any significant difference in "strain" on the car when driving at much higher speeds. I've been driving 65-85 mph for the past couple of months, and it seems that my car actually likes that, because the engine just runs a lot smoother. I recently drove for over an hour at over 90mph (about 150kph) and I barely noticed the engine noise at all, although it was revving around 3500 rpm.

Needless to say, it's also a great little car about town. Most drivers on the road truly underestimate just how "chuckable" and go-karty this car really is, and if ever there is a duel for a parking spot, they will always lose to my light little egg.
