Yaris=hot oven?? - Toyota Yaris Forums

texkid · 06-24-2009, 11:38 PM

This goes to all the people in the Gulf Coast region that have been experiencing The DROUGHT.

Is is just me or does the Yaris do a "fantastic" job of turning itself into an oven even though it is parked in the sun for a mere 10 minutes?

Lately, I have been needing to open all the windows and open up the hatch to let all that heat out before starting up and going. I even have the freaking sunshade up when its parked! At mid-day, I arrive to my car and it feels like I am shoving my face into an oven. And the A/C ain't doing a fantastic job either. My old Ford Escort could get so cold that the windows would begin showing condensation. This car? I have the A/C all the way to (4) and it still feels like its not doing enough.

Just making sure my car isn't defective or something.

Tinted windows make a HUGE difference.

texkid · 06-24-2009, 11:44 PM

Shit man. I have 20% tint on all windows and the sunshade up at all times when I am not driving. It's still hot! The only savior is lowering the windows just a tad to let some air out when its parked. But I only do that in places where its "somewhat safe" to do it.

JBougie · 06-24-2009, 11:54 PM

We have had 90+ degree heat with 90%+ humidity the last couple of days here, and when I turn my AC on and it gets going full blast my windshield gets condensation on it and the top of the middle vent piece above my radio also gets condensation - my eyebrows start freezing and that's when I turn it down to one and take it off defrost.

So I don't know ... yes, it's SUPER hot when I get in the car - but it's 90 freakin' degrees outside so it should be. lol

I'm with ya, I'm driving a black Yaris down here in San Antonio and I never use the a/c, even when the temps are triple-digits as they have been for the past few weeks.

Of course, I also drive an open Jeep so I am probably so fried that I don't even feel the heat anymore. And the car I had prior to the Yaris had black leather seats in it...and no working a/c!

Drive a few minutes with the windows open and the a/c going to blow out all that hot air, then it will work better. Or find someplace covered to park...

Cheers! M2

Tinted windows, a sun shade and window visors so you can leave the windows cracked ftw! I, too, never use the a/c.

Thats what I've been needing. Some window visors!

I ain't gonna lie. I have always been a winter guy. I could walk outside with a light sweater and some shorts and still be fine. Summers? Never like them.

Well...to be specific. Summers with humidity I never did like. If its dry air, yeah I'll wing it.

SaerinRhoe · 06-25-2009, 01:03 AM

Dude, it was 101 in Dallas today with humidity over 70%. Window tint and a sunshade on the windshield will only do so much in that kind of heat.

And leaving the windows down a bit to let the air flow through? If you think air that's hot enough to compete with what a hair dryer puts out will keep your car cool... I've got some bottom land to sell you :) just don't ask me what it's on the bottom of. lol

It was already 80 degrees at 6am so, yeah, car + texas heat = commercial grade oven temps inside the car.

Stay cool y'all. This kind of heat can kill folks that over do it on being too active.

IsLNdbOi · 06-25-2009, 02:06 AM

Vegas here. Regularly get over 100F in the summer. I have window vent visors and a windshield sunshade. If I have to park outside, I put up the sunshade and since I have vent visors, I lower all the windows down to a little higher than the bottom edge of the vent visors. I also got a steering wheel cover so I don't burn my hands on the hard rubber steering wheel.

Keeps the interior from getting too hot.

Window tinting helps alot too.

haha! so it isn't my imagination!

BTW I feel sorry for the guys driving black yarii!!

My old (Navy blue) Honda didn't have AC either so I usually forget to use it. Doesn't do much anyway. I've ordered a sunshade for the Yaris, should be here in a week or two. Can't wait !!!

Stay cool and hydrated everybody.

Small interior volume + hot weather + body heat = mobile sauna

CtrlAltDefeat · 06-25-2009, 07:03 AM

Pretty hot here lately and my black one gets quite warm but it cools down pretty quick once I get going... windows open to suck out the hot air and A/C on low fan/lowest temp until it gets cold...

My Nautical Metallic Blue sedan gains heat much faster than my Black Talon ever did.
I'm searching for a competent tint shop now.

gokartride · 06-25-2009, 08:58 AM

I suggest a small turkey, some herbs and maybe throw in some veggies. If you're gonna have an oven you might as well make good use of it.

bronsin · 06-25-2009, 09:04 AM

We've yet to see 90 here in NJ this year. Not even close. Roll your windows down. No ones gonna steal a Yaris. If its gonna rain then its too cloudy to heat the car up much.

Yaris Hilton · 06-25-2009, 10:28 AM

The sedan probably gets hotter than the LB. Lots of glass in the windshield and back window, slanted way over to let the sun shine in. Yeah, it gets hot!
