Looks like you CAN get telescopic steering wheel! - Toyota Yaris Forums

My 5-dr 2008 Hatchback has height adjustable seat belts.... I would LOVE the telescopic steering wheel and the sliding 60/40 seats though.

I knew about the telescopic wheel in other regions, but I didn't realize the Yaris anywhere had the start-stop feature. That'd be an awesome feature in heavy traffic. Hybrids have been doing it forever and I know it is starting to expand to other cars.

Regarding the start-stop, does anybody know if it uses the traditional starter or does it use a "smoother" starter like hybrids do? One thing I like about the start-stop in hybrids I've been in is that there is no cranking when the engine starts, it just smoothly spins up.
