Nice!
I can't believe Toyota makes a Yaris with 69hp. I can't imagine you guys drive highway out there. That would kill those engines. No? That engine almost exactly matches up with the Smart Fortwo (US version anyway). It has a 1.0 3-cylinder 70 hp engine. And the Smart is 500lbs less than the Yaris! Yet, the Smart get's an underwhelming 33/41 mpg (EPA) rating. This begs the question as to what the MPG rating is for the 1.0 Yaris (EPA equivalent). Because often times, a lower displacement engine doesn't benefit too much because it has to work a lot harder. Anyone have an EPA conversion rating? Our 106hp engine is the smallest engine in the US (other than the Smart) although not the slowest. |

As for the last question- I'm thinking it's got to be the quality of gasoline over there. It's just different standards and the need to ensure long life for the engine. I've heard that the US Smart comes with instructions to only use high grade (not sure of the terms) gasoline.
But to the actual topic- the 1,0 is great. Powerful enough to carry the weight of the Yaris. Sure, you need to work the gears more often than on a more powerful engine, but I don't mind. Plus, you're more likely to be in the right gear for a quick sprint :) I love the sound of the 3-pot engine too- it sounds great when it's warm. When cold, it sounds too much like a diesel... |
