2010 yaris hatch thoughts and some improvements - Toyota Yaris Forums

Had a long day today, there's more improvements i noticed but this is all i can think about.

ok...soo...i traded my '08 for '10 5dr/5sp....and as i drive 300 miles from ct -> nj and back, i noticed that the '10 FEELS more powerful compared to my 08 after i took out all my power/suspension mods, and my friend's '09 stock 3dr (still new at 2k miles). it reaches 80mph pretty damn easy, compared to those other yarii i driven. On my scangauge the TPS still maxes out at 80%/LOD 99. also, i feel the clutch engages a hell of alot easier on first gear. of course..the now standard TACH is just pure sex. Is it the VSD/TCS helping out on the launching and slight increase of power? Of course, mileage from the drive was 37.4, pretty good for a relatively unbroken-in engine :)

*currently at 501 miles on odo*

My '08 sedan reaches 80mph very easily... often when I glance down at the speedometer soon after getting on the highway, I'm already there or getting close...
