2012 owners picture thread

There is a false floor that gives about 10-15cm of extra room above the real floor above the spare tire. I keep an umbrella, a multimeter, hi-vis vests and some tools in there so it doesn't look cluttered.

I keep my emergency kit - supplied by Toyota - in there. Pitty my notebook bag *just* doesn't fit in there.

I'd be happy to take a pic, should you need more clarity on this.

OFF TOPIC (I'm sorry)

Talking of "secret" storage spaces; I assume everyone is aware of the space on the inside of the glove compartment (at the very top) to store the owner's manuals?

BTW, local XR specs have heated/cooled glove compartments, controlled by the passenger side's climate control setting.

BRB, checking glovebox and "secret" hatchback storage area right NAO!!!!!oneeeelevenety1111

I'm loving this car more than my girlfriend's legs. Well, almost as much.

EDIT: Yes, on the top of the glovebox, there is a "slot" that fits the owner's manual perfectly. These guys thought of everything. But I won't be using it to hold my manual. I have all my yaris paperwork, including my window sticker, in my Toyota "welcome package", which includes the owner's manual, warranty information, etc. all in a nice, vinyl binder. Feels hefty, and expensive. :p

I did not find any "secret area" in the hatchback. I know the spare is under the fiberboard/carpet "floor", but I saw no 'secret compartment".

Anyone care to clue me in? Am I missing something?

i also looked for that secret compartment in the glove box in my 2012 3 door and i found it, maybe tomorrow i'll check for that other secret storage area near the spare tire.

The "secret area" is the space directly above the recessed spare tire. You can store and hide items in there.

It isn't hard to love the 3rd gen cars because they are so beautiful. Especially the 3-doors. Yummy.

Hey, gotta enjoy those MPGs, man! Plus, I have driven fast cars before (MR2 Turbo, C4 Vette, Foxbody Mustang), and the Yaris is plenty fast for a fun drive through the twistys. They must have changed the suspension and shift feel from the last-gen cars, because this Yaris is much more fun to drive!



More fun to drive a slow car fast...than a fast car slow.

Ohhhhh...that area. I knew about that. It is a great place to stow valuables away from prying eyes (not that the hatch cover doesn't do this already).

This little car is such a clever girl.
