I've been driving my friend's XA and i have no complaints on the IP. but i just love the IP to be in front of the driver rather in the middle.
just imagine what would it feel to be riding a yaris S with souped up aftermarket parts. and the gauges are in front of you. with oversized tacho and oil pressure gagues and everything.  |
A WHAT?!?
Souped up Yaris? Wow. If you can really get it tuned, balanced (suspension modifications) and other changes to make it go, please post video of it. I'd love to see that.
I've test driven and ridden in an Echo, and Scion xB. There is an adjustment process, but I prefer my guages in front of me behind the steering wheel, or as in some high-end cars as a heads-up projection on the windshield.
