Otterhere, did you actually drive or play with a Yaris before you bought one, or did you just order it online sight unseen? Your attitude says "Spoiled Brat" so frikkin' loud I'm deafened. If the car is "unacceptable" as new, then what does that say about you as a purchaser? It says you did no research, did not look at the car AT ALL, and have a bad habit of blaming everyone else for the fact that you bought something you didn't like.
Toughen up, get over yourself.

Same here. Acceleration is not a strong point on that car.

You can adjust the bass on the factory stereo (don't ask me how, though, but I've seen the sales guy do it at the dealership), but the acceleration is something you might have to get used to :(

On the sedan at least, the knob on the right end of the top of the stereo controls bass, treble, balance (left-right), fade (front-back), and a feature that turns the volume down when the car's speed decreases (the knob on the left end being for power and volume). Just press the knob in once for each setting and cycle through them until you see the one you want to change. Then turn that same knob up or down to adjust, and the equivalent relative number will show on the screen as you do it. To set it there, just wait until the screen returns to normal.

:( Why don't we get that in the HB?

Small engine + GREAT mileage = Slow off the line.
Fact of life. If you want acceleration, you'll pretty much have to go for something more expensive to run. The way most people drive, though, you'll still beat them off the lights, simply because they don't realise you're racing

get a STANDARD - that will solve your acceleration issues.

small engine = small car =/= automatic.

offering an automatic for such small cars is just..........dumb.

and if you just have to have it, then expect your power reserve to be alot less!

Er.. not quite. Coming from the Honda CRX, I can tell you that the acceleration in the Yaris is not the greatest.

You get used to it pretty quickly, but it's sometimes a bit of a pain (like when you want to merge on the highway)

I think the SMART is even worse than the Yaris in that regard, though.

Best way to get over the merge problem is to use the Yaris' ability to corner to its fullest - banch the ramp and match intrinsics BEFORE you get to highway itself.

2 year anniversary for Black Betty tomorrow....59,800+ miles. Had well over 100 cars since 1964, and this is one of the tops!!!! Does everything I need.....5 of us travelled over 1,000 miles in a 3 day weekend, have hauled 1,000 lb payloads, have averaged over 38 mpg (have records to prove it).

Sad thing is either getting hours cut, pay cut, or laid off next week....Black Betty may have to go....

Sorry to hear that. Hang in there, the economy will turn around, eventually.

Sorry about you situation. Perhaps a way out will come to you.
Why so may cars?

Word came down Friday 32 hours...I can live with that. Just about every factory around here has done this, after they laid off to the bare bones.

Why so many cars???? Why not? Maybe ask Jay Leno.

Yaris is near the top of the list out of all of them. Or maybe I'm just getting old and want something practical and dependable, that does everything I need.
