What have you learned from your Yaris?

That's far from a new feature though. I think that Toyota's have had that feature on their cars for a while now.

For example, my dad owned a 92 Toyota Previa, and it would idle at a higher RPM and wouldn't shift into 4th gear until the engine was at it's normal temperature.

I think that it's probably staying in 3rd gear since the automatic yaris only has 4 gears, and there's no way it would stay in 2nd at 50MPH and would only be doing 2k RPM. It's a pretty smart little car though.
