Yup... it's a fantastic car, I've had mine for twelve years now; best car I have ever had... only ever put brake pads and discs and a couple of front brake hoses (nothing wrong with them but the MOT chap insisted he could see cracks in the rubber; I couldn't!), plus the usual oil and filters... bit thirsty with the fuel if you boot it though! 🙂

Voltage is only half of it. You need to do a Drop Test to get a better idea. How does the voltage hold up when under load? Just coz it sits at what you think is a good voltage, doesn't mean it's got good regulation. High internal resistance will kill voltage. Aim for 13v on a battery at rest, and you'd be more than likely fine. 12.56v is ok as you've not replenished the battery after a couple of 30min drives. Mick.

On the 2013 Yaris hybrid, you must wait for the initial 'beep' before moving the 'gearlever'.

I like to keep my little Yaris as clean as I can & even got asked at it's last MOT if I'd had it in storage somewhere I did originally look for a set of steels but couldn't seem to find any at a decent price & then these ph2 mk2 alloys came up on Facebook marketplace for £100 so it was a no brainer as they say.

Because FB always has to have the last word and hates to be contradicted!

As Frosty says this is going to vary according to local specifications. Electrical adjustable drivers seat with memory & heated rear seats are definitely planned to be available within the 2019 RAV4 range in North America depending upon model/trim level. Heated steering wheel is an option in the 2018 RAV in the USA & standard on some Canadian trims, I imagine it will be available in the 2019. I would have thought that for northern USA & Canada a heated windscreen is highly desirable but can't see it in the specs. (doesn't mean that it isn't there). I understand that hybrid RAV4s won't ship in NA until March/April 2019, ICE only from December 2018.

Andrew, I think you have mixed up your engine description - t27 diesel 1.8l avensis build 2013 - but at least your profile is correct. It is a 2litre diesel. I cannot say if the cold starting rev's are normal or not. On petrol, 2000 rpm is normal, and the revs drop quickly if the car is driven. That is why I start up and drive off immediately. The car warms up very fast when driven. Clearing the side windows by lowering them then raising. I cannot remember with my current car, because I clear all windows before getting in and starting the car as mentioned above. My old car did partially clear the glass, so had to clear them. I did polish the windows so the water runs off quickly. I am still trying to remember as I type this, and maybe it does clear. Other hopefully can answer. Konrad
