    15:07 You can actually set the distance to the vehicle in front in 3 steps using the button right above the one used to activate the cruise control on the steering wheel (the one that looks like half a car sending out a radar signal). The set distance resets to the far setting every time you deactivate cruise control (not just canceling it, but turning it off). Also, a lot of the safety features are at play when using the active cruise control, some of which can be a bit annoying. Most of them can be turned off through the settings in the info display in the dashboard.
    Jou should be able to see how much charge the battery has on the home screen on the infotainment system, and also in one of the submenus in the info display in the dash. Those submenus are available by pressing the left and right buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Up and down changes menu, left and right changes submenu. Some "settings" submenus are available by pressing and holding the OK button, if so, it will say so on the screen.
    I just got mine this thursday (top of the line trim level, Oxide Bronce), and I wholeheartedly agree with you, that cabin is a VERY nice place to be in. :)

    I borrowed a Design version, which is the next level up from base. I really enjoyed driving it, and thought the acceleration was surprisingly good. I checked the doors, as I'd seen other reviews comment on this, but they sounded OK on mine. I disagree on the boot, which I thought was small, and roadnoise on the motorway, which I wouldn't describe as quiet.

    • @Fulgrim_III

    Most Toyota hybrids have an “Energy Flow Display” on both the centre infotainment screen and the little display between instruments. In fact you were almost there with the bar graph you selected, you needed to hit the “Energy” button.
    You must have a heavy right foot (5.9litres/100km). I can get 5.2litres/100km out of my Camry Hybrid for city and motorway driving, day in, day out.

      My old man is exactly the same with his 1.5 Design. He’s loving it but only had it 6 weeks and he was disappointed that he couldn’t really get much better than low 40’s mpg.
      I took him out for a drive in it (took the scenic route to go pick up food shopping) and without trying or dawdling I was hitting mid 60’s mpg.
      It’s all about how you drive them, and knowing how to get the best out of the HSD (I have a 2.0 GR Corolla).

      Consumption of 5,9 l/100 km. (= 47,9 mpg) is really (too) high for this car.
      The average, according to Spritmonitor is 4,54 l/100 km. (= 62,2 mpg), measured over min. 2000 km. (1250 miles).

      As you can see above, not one of 15 drivers managed 5,9 l/100 km. (= 47,9 mpg).
      The "record holder" managed 5,14 liters (55 mpg), so you "won! 😉
      Our Yaris Hybrid (2017) has an average consumption (not BC but measured over three and a half years) of 4,9 l/100 km. = 57,6 mpg.

I could understand maybe after a couple of weeks but after 3 to 4 days left sitting, battery total drained. Anyone else have same? If this is "normal" then if you go away for a few days you need the AA to get you started each time, seems ridiculous.

    Great review thanks Bob. Awaiting mine to arrive at my local dealership Pinkstones Toyota in Stoke on Trent, UK. Just a quick comment. I agree the CVT box does create "noise" from the engine as it is revs highly to accellerate. That said, it's not in your face (from my test drive) it's just because there is a lack of noise coming from anywhere else. The old story of you manage to reduce noise in 1 area results in uncovering a "new" noise that was there all along. I hope that makes sense? lol - Subscribed to you today.

      Completely agree. Too much emphasis on that for me. Plus the sound has improved for the 2022 /23 model. Iv recently purchased a gr sport variant n the doors don’t sound tinny at all.
