btw how is the gearing on the yaris?
in the echo 2nd gear gets me to 60mph and 3rd to 90mph

on a side note, I'm paying 3.59 for gas......:cry

I actually bought the dog-o-matic.. I test drove both and the auto felt more responsive on take offs. The manual was quiet and didn't have a tach. I was forgetting to shift.

I'm getting the optional TRD armrest, and probably TRD rear Swaybar. Eventually I'd like to get a set of Tein coilovers and some bronze 15 or 16 inch wheels unless I can find a cheap set of Mini Cooper S 17s to put on it.. Then just drive the hell out of it.

I agree.. I couldn't believe it when I got in and looked around. I don't even think it's an option in North America. I know Canada and Europe get one though.
