Had my 1st Toyota Maintenance...

You're making assumptions about what the OP meant by what they said. You can't do that. Ask more questions. Get a clear understanding of the problem before pronouncing a diagnosis.

Goes both ways. Without seeing car, I assumed that it's too tight, other guy assumed that's it's just perfect and OP and I are weak armed. I didn't want to assume that the guy was a puss and didn't know anything about his own car.

No, you lyfao and said that it was adjusted now and properly adjusted

This is just getting silly.

OP, don't let any of us assume anything. Have dealer check out your concerns. Better to have it rechecked than to just assume that you're weak and it's perfect and have you to just keep driving it with a possible problem with the brake adjustment.

The assumption that a newb on a forum like this one doesn't know much is usually a pretty safe bet. But, you can ask questions without making them looks dumb. And that keeps you from making incorrect assumptions about their problem.

OP is a newb to the forum because they don't post much? Join date is same as mine. OP wanted an opinion based on experience. I gave an opinion based on my experience with this issue. First reply to OP asked no questions, just assumed that it's adjusted properly. Why single me out?

My brakes feel great, and 5 clicks on my handbrake. On my inclined (average, I assume) driveway it's 5 clicks and it's never tried to roll forward or reverse. I've never adjusted them, btw.

a noob is someone who doesn't understand how emergency brakes work.

therefore, number of posts or join date have nothing to do with it. i'll wager that many of the 1000plus posters on YW don't even change their own oil. which makes them noobs. ;)

Assumptions all over the place.

So all the dastardly assumptions can be quelled...

Mitchell5 Parking Brake Service Data (Toyota Yaris):

Travel @ 200 N (20 kgf, 45 lbf) -- 6 to 9 clicks

There you go.
