New-to-me 2008 Yaris 3 door MT - Toyota Yaris Forums

mittra · 02-10-2015, 04:49 PM

Fortunately, I don't do much highway driving. My commute is a whopping 10.4 miles door to door and there is only one stretch of road roughly three miles long that jumps to a 55mph speed limit.

Having the instrument cluster in the center of the dash and not directly in front of me is taking some getting used to. I definitely want one with a tach though. Have driven manual transmission vehicles for almost 25 years and this is the first one I've driven without a tach.

You'll get used to it. Unless you're constantly hunting for the redline, I honestly don't see the value in a tach. I have driven my Yaris about 130000 without one and have never missed it.
