There is a false floor that gives about 10-15cm of extra room above the real floor above the spare tire. I keep an umbrella, a multimeter, hi-vis vests and some tools in there so it doesn't look cluttered.

I keep my emergency kit - supplied by Toyota - in there. Pitty my notebook bag *just* doesn't fit in there.

I'd be happy to take a pic, should you need more clarity on this.

OFF TOPIC (I'm sorry)

Talking of "secret" storage spaces; I assume everyone is aware of the space on the inside of the glove compartment (at the very top) to store the owner's manuals?

BTW, local XR specs have heated/cooled glove compartments, controlled by the passenger side's climate control setting.

OFF TOPIC OVER/

BRB, checking glovebox and "secret" hatchback storage area right NAO!!!!!oneeeelevenety1111

I'm loving this car more than my girlfriend's legs. Well, almost as much.

EDIT: Yes, on the top of the glovebox, there is a "slot" that fits the owner's manual perfectly. These guys thought of everything. But I won't be using it to hold my manual. I have all my yaris paperwork, including my window sticker, in my Toyota "welcome package", which includes the owner's manual, warranty information, etc. all in a nice, vinyl binder. Feels hefty, and expensive. :p

I did not find any "secret area" in the hatchback. I know the spare is under the fiberboard/carpet "floor", but I saw no 'secret compartment".

Anyone care to clue me in? Am I missing something?

The "secret area" is the space directly above the recessed spare tire. You can store and hide items in there.

Hey, gotta enjoy those MPGs, man! Plus, I have driven fast cars before (MR2 Turbo, C4 Vette, Foxbody Mustang), and the Yaris is plenty fast for a fun drive through the twistys. They must have changed the suspension and shift feel from the last-gen cars, because this Yaris is much more fun to drive!



More fun to drive a slow car fast...than a fast car slow.

Ohhhhh...that area. I knew about that. It is a great place to stow valuables away from prying eyes (not that the hatch cover doesn't do this already).

This little car is such a clever girl.
