First time Yaris Owner

Congrats and welcome to the forums!

Not all Yaris models have that lever that you mentioned, but I believe you need to pump it to elevate and pull on it to go down.

The pedals are indeed a bit high but you will definitely get used to them. I'm not sure if you got a manual, but if so make sure you step on that pedal all the way to the bottom to make sure the clutch is engaged before you switch gears. It's a common issue with pedals this high.

The room in this car is one of the things that sold me. It really is a super versatile car. You did good, gollygirl!

Welcome!

I was going to ask if your car was assembled in Japan or = one of the recent arrivals from France, then I noticed you live in Australia, not in the U.S.

Just out of curiosity, do you know the assembly point for your Yaris?

Where will I find out where she is built? I saw the build (production) date as June 2013 but not the country. Where should I look for that?

In the U.S. it is listed on the FACTORY Window Sticker that summarizes the base cost, the cost of any options, and the destination charge.

OK I shall try to pump it tomorrow when I am home - just dont want to have a problem when I have to get to work. The manual does not really explain that part well.

The car is an automatic - just find that brake pedal a little bit high to my old car but as you say, I am sure in time I will get used to it, it really is my only complaint............and it is something you dont notice so much with a test drive, only when on your own.
