Very glad you like it!

Do you have any way to check your RPMS in 5th at highway speeds? Just curious if they changed the trans at all. On my 08 it runs at about 3k at highway speeds.

At 70mph, it's indicated at 3k exactly. The engine has lots of headroom at that speed. If it were not limited by aero drag, I think the Yaris is geared for 105-110, or thereabouts.

I don't know if the gearing is changed, but the feel has been. It's now very satisfying to row the gears in the Yaris!
