On the sedan mine it was attached under the cover that goes over the spare tire. There was also a black bag with a socket wrench and the tow hook .

Overall, still much more pleased with the Yaris though. |

But what really makes me laugh is that jinxor does not know the difference between the drivers side of the car and the passenger side of the car cause he does not correct WeeYari or tell him that here in Australia (where jinxor and i live) the jack is under the passenger seat. Typical Sydneysider..........

If you noticed, my original post stated that the Yaris had the cheapest jack that had ever used. Why don't you make a list of OEM jacks that are inferior to the Yaris jack?

1995 Honda Accord 2009 Accura TL All of these jacks are the same quality or worse than the Yaris. I bet the Yaris is the cheapest car you have ever bought too. |

Under the front seat!
Does anyone know why Toyota hid the jack under the driver's seat, under a very hard to remove plastic cover that well disguises the jack, rather than in the box next to the spare that already holds the tire iron and jack handle and has plenty of room for the jack? What were the designers thinking? Call AAA instead of changing a tire onself?

Uhm, maybe because its unused inaccessible space, whereas the trunk is user-accessible and useful for all kinds of things? I find that the plastic boxes under the trunk lid is great for ammunition and a tool box. If I put that stuff under the seat, it would slide out and look suspicious to a cop when I get pulled over.

Those kind of jacks are for emergency use only no mater what the load capacity is.
They are for changing a tire on the hi-way and that is about it. They are not intended for any other purpose. |

I bought one of these hydraulic trolley jacks for $25 to get the car up high enough to put axle stands under the car for safety when working on it. the car jack that actually comes with the car is close to useless as its so flimsy it can be dangerous.
get one of these. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en And a 4 pack of these http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows....jsp?locale=en |
