I try to treat mine as best as I can, but unfortunately some plastic parts are prone for easy scratching. Currently I am at around 9300km milage and interior overall looks brand new and nice, however at A pillar I have little scratch that I have no idea how it got there. Always clean my interior without any watch on my hands etc., soft microfiber only but still somehow it got there.

Spotting it first pissed me off big time, but after few days I slowly switched my mindset. Its a rally road legal car with plastic interior, sometimes things like these happen. Exterior also I try to protect best I can (have front ppf, ceramic on, parking on safe spaces preventing any door dings from careless people), but sometimes life is life and that rouge rock from ongoing traffic will cross my path and hit something. First months are always the hardest and most annoying, but more time passes more I accept that in the end its car. Considering I daily it these things will simply happen. Until mechanically car is in top condition I am happy.

I put some things down from the cup holder near the handbrake... and you can already see marks in there, not grooves but lighter lines, hard to explain, I'll try to post a photo of another spot I marked... nothing clear, plastic things... I'm not one to throw things in glove compartments and I understand the reasoning of the rally car... but it's still a 60k euro car 😅 here it was my mistake because it was a piece of metal even if not sharp... but in other parts I know what I put there and the marks are similar

I think Toyota used 99% of the price into drivetrain and suspension :D Anyways only time
I’ve used that compartment was few weeks ago when my girlfriend received her medical degree diploma, fits perfectly!

Lucky you, I put something on it once and this is the result... then I put the fanny pack there by the handbrake and it made 2 lines there too... this car is too delicate 🫣... luckily the spare parts are "low" and it can be restored easily... anyway, congratulations on your diploma degree
 
I know the tire pressure widget is buggy, but from the manual it seems like you can set the specific pressure at which the alarm should sound… but it won't let you change it… has anyone succeeded?

Edit:
I can see on the radio when the low tire warnings came on. When or how do I clear them?

Hi everyone,
I wanted to share an issue that several owners in Spain have noticed with the GR Yaris GR2. Under certain conditions, the turbo seems to get restricted and won’t go over 0.8–0.9 bar for a few seconds or even a couple of minutes.

The strange thing is:
  • No error messages appear.
  • Nothing is stored in the ECU.
  • The car “fixes itself” after a short while and boost returns to normal.
How to reproduce it:
  • With high outside temperatures and the car already hot after some spirited driving.
  • You stop for a few minutes (for example to refuel, 5–10 minutes).
  • When you start again, everything looks fine, but under hard acceleration the turbo doesn’t boost past 0.9 bar in any gear.
After some seconds or a minute or two, everything goes back to normal.

Has this happened to anyone else? Could you try it and see if you can replicate it on your GR2?
Later I will open a specific thread.

The car reduces torque / low boost when cold. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the same system working away.

Yup, mine does this every single time after a "hot start" (doesn't matter if it's hot or cold outside, as long as the engine is at normal operating temperature), it all looks fine except for the fact that it won't boost past 1.0bar for a minute, it really looks like a cold start power restriction, except it's not cold and the RPM display is normal.
 
has to be heat soak if occurring after a spirited run and left to sit for a short period of time. What temps are being shown for coolant/oil when this occurs?

Sounds like heat soak? But strange how it hasn't been noticed on gen1 with fewer radiators 🤷‍♂️

No, it’s not an overheating issue. Coolant temperature stays at 91°C and engine oil at 96°C. It always happens, as if it were the same protection system that operates when the engine is cold.

After analyzing it, it seems to happen almost all the time under normal operating temperatures, as if it were the same protection system that works when the engine is cold.

Oil and coolant temperatures say nothing about intake air temperature

My car did the same in freezing temperature even after a short grocery trip, got out of the car for 5min, got back in, started the car, coolant/oil were barely above 80C, and it still limits the boost below 1bar for a minute.
 
Stopped after a 45min drive for a quick stop and accelerated quicker than I normally would after a stop to see what happens and yep boost restricted.

100% a design feature I assume to allow sufficient lubrication or something like that.

Please explain to me so if it happens to me I already know... I use the translator and sometimes it's not clear... basically if the car is at the correct temperature (90-96 degrees) I stop, turn it off and start again after 5 minutes, the car even if it is at the optimal temperature, from when I start it in the first minute it doesn't go above 1 bar?
