    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    To add to your crazy, I have an automatic, from Italy, and it doesn’t have the option to meddle with interior sound… 🤯 🤌

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) FL: intake gaps, anybody?

    Howdy, am I the only one who has these gaps: The entire front part seems looser than normal. Reason I’m asking is that my dealership here in Italy has been saying since March that Toyota knows the problem and they are waiting for a solution… When will that be, approximately? “Probably...

    Event The 3rd Annual GR-Zoo European Road Trip - "The Dolomites" - Limited spots available

    To the organizers: Just a heads-up: be flexible with your routes - last mid-September we had this: winter tyres (or chains) mandatory on Timmelsjoch due to an overnight surprise: Same situation on the relatively low Karer Pass: Nothing that can’t be managed, but worth considering with a...

    GR Yaris DASH-HOOD ALCANTARA

    That’s actually funny… how to manage that problem when tariffs change these days every day, literally, in certain “jurisdictions”… … good thing for them that the Yaris isn’t sold in the US of A…

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Automatic gearbox issue: paddles do not upshift under acceleration?

    I’d say that’s normal and intended to avoid LSPI. This thread is about a different topic though: no-paddle upshift override, even in the 3/4/5/6000 rpm range. But normal in Toyota-world.

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Automatic gearbox issue: paddles do not upshift under acceleration?

    Finally had a chance to talk to the chief engineering dude of North-East Italy today (he understood the issue well, as he’s been working for Porsche before, where that’s not an issue) Final verdict: In Toyota-world, this is a feature, not a bug. Period. Case closed! Basta. 😂 (He was...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    Here’s the video, in Italian, but nice to look at. To each their own, but to me it’s a bit too much… I prefer the understatement of mine.

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    That’s a feature, not a bug: Japanese mistaken translation for: “Don’t you think it’s time to hit the breaks, like, NOW?!?”

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Automatic gearbox issue: paddles do not upshift under acceleration?

    Alright, in the German forum I was just directed to this video, which shows the exact topic at min 11:55 and 13:13: Just in case other AT owners are ever wondering here . To me, that looks like a software bug. No, not a feature!

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) Automatic gearbox issue: paddles do not upshift under acceleration?

    May I respectfully disagree: PDKs don’t do that, BMWs (ZF 8-speed) either. Shift paddles on both brands do override the D mode. Better gas mileage/emissions (at that speed) through higher rpms? Doubt it.
