i agree my made it to 150km only reason for replacement was a small leak on and off in the blow off otherwise it was fine ....i do find that they do go earlier on cars with AC , that is just based on my observation.

I don't know about the ECHO, but in the U.S., the Yaris (at least to consumers...fleet might be different) has always come with A/C as standard equipment (I know that isn't the case in Canada). Given that the Yaris is the cheapest new Toyota, I wonder if all USDM Toyotas 2007 MY and beyond have come standard with A/C ? CTScott would probably know. I'd think that the only USDM vehicle that might not is the smallest, most stripped/bare bones pickup.

I live in Puerto Rico (we have USDM cars) and over here if you bring a car without A/C I can bet that you will never sell it since over here in the island temps are 70-98 F year round so A/C is a must :P

It gets well below 70 F in my zip code during the Winter...it has actually snowed a few times since 2008. With the heat index, it gets much hotter than 98 F outside my house. The hottest day since I moved here was in August of 2011. It was 105 F at my house, with a heat index of 120 F. A few miles away, the temp was 107.9 F...but the higher humidity level there brought the heat index into the mid 140s F (147 F, IIRC).
