The heater in the Yaris is a bit underwhelming; but considering that I am comparing it to a 4.0 I6 Jeep Wrangler heater that is not surprising. The latter is cranking out the heat almost as soon as I get to the end of the driveway, with my Yaris it will be several minutes down the road before I can even feel a slight indication of warmth.

I am just glad I live someplace where I don't need it too often, and if I didn't I would most definitely have gotten the cold weather package!

Cheers! M2

The A/C works a lot better than my 95 Civic but in the Civic, the heater for blowing hot air towards your feet was significantly better. It worked right away and in the Yaris, I wouldn't feel it after the car was already warmed up.
