yaris instrumentation panel.

[jeff_o]

All right guys, I know echo started putting the instrumentation panel at the center of the dash instead of to one side, and the yaris continued this legacy. But i just want to know your opinion on this... doesn't it take away the 'car feel' when you don't see the gauges right in front of the steering wheel? 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.

On the first day of ownership of my Yaris was the most odd to get used to that center console. Now that I've owned for a period of time I don't think twice about it. I never had a souped up car though, so those additional gauges that you've mentioned isn't something that I had before.

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.

some guy in yarisworld.com placed an aftermarket tacho on the dashboard just in front of the steering wheel... looks odd though coz the speedo is in the center but the tacho is in front of him.
