So why are there so many variations of engine, traction control etc in every different country? You would think the U.S. would get better options than 1 engine.

Thanks for all the comments. I’ve had my car 4 weeks and its still on its first tank of fuel so I can’t give an accurate MPG yet. So far the engine has been stopped for 1hr 40mins while waiting at junctions/traffic lights etc with the Stop/Start function.

The ride is quiet and smooth. The revs drop like a stone at higher speeds when in 6th gear. The only extras I’ve had (apart form the VSC/TR) are scuff plates and Yaris mats. The tinted glass in the rear is standard. Just thinking of getting a chrome finisher for the exhaust pipe

6th gear?

We don't have that option over here.
