Yes it is a little noisy more so because I tried to take off one of the half shafts because originally I thought it was leaking from there. When I attempted that I pushed one of those thin sheet metal shields into the brake rotor and didn't figure out where that noise was coming from for a day or two.

Having said that the gear box is louder than on a regular manual transmission I think but I have not ridden in a manual transmission Yaris yet. I think there are quieter gear boxes out there and hopefully more dependable. Mine is the T 1200 from Solectra.

My electric bill has increased buy about $20 dollars per month. It cost about $1.60 to go a 100 miles. Electricity is relatively cheap here in the northwest.
