Yaris

Can someone tell me please how far I can go on battery power alone? My wife goes to scrabble club weekly which is about one mile there and back and/ or to Asda which is about 2 miles away. Can these trips be done without the use of the engine?

I’ve heard a lot of bad reports regarding flat batteries

Can anyone tell me how noisy this car is? I am fed up with the road noise on motorway journeys in my current car (different make) and am looking at a Yaris Cross as an alternative.

My yaris cross excel radio keeps going on to mute. Thought it might be my phone so turned phone off but still happens on the radio.
Any ideas 💡 I'm not technical as it mite be something simple..
Before anyone says no I am not touching the steering wheel switches lol

Modern vehicles have lots of onboard systems each with their own controllers, not all of these go to sleep when you lock the vehicle. Alarm, immobiliser, wireless entry, remote control and status updates to yourphone etc. all consume power in the background. I have a battery float charger now, and connect it up if the vehicle is not driven enough.
However, since the vehicle (at least on Excel spec) reports status back to a smart phone app, wouldn't it be a good idea to warn the driver when the battery is in need of charging BEFORE it goes flat?

Interestingly, my battery problems started a week or two after an "Over The Air software update". I received a letter saying Toyota would remotely update software in the vehicle and not to panic if refused to start while updating.
So will we be experiencing the same as PC users getting updates? A progress bar graph and "Please wait while we update your vehicle"

I understand people have 12 volt battery problems with this car. Is it necessary to drive at least half an hour after switching on and
every day to avoid battery failure?

Am I right in thinking the auto wipers should be left in the off position when parked in icy weather?
It occurs to me that otherwise, with iced up windscreen, the wipers may trigger when pressing start and either:
1; damaging wiper motor
2; tearing the rubber wiper blades off.
Or is the car smart enough to avoid this?
Any thoughts?

I’m looking Toyota

Ordered in May given September delivery (Excel)

Been trying to find out if the led headlights on a 2023 yaris design require beam deflectors when driving abroad.

Especially on motorways and A roads as we use the A3O3 from M3 to Exeter and beyond

Was considering replacing my 3 year old Yaris with the hybrid version. Read too many reviews about battery problems, ie drive 500 miles come back after fortnight holiday won’t start flat battery. Advised to start the car and let it run for a hour to maintain charge once a week. I do very little mileage use the car once or twice a week so this doesn’t sound good to me.

i am thinking of changing my car but am concerned about the hybrid as i only drive about 15 miles a week

which model has sat nav

2021 Yaris Design

Deposit for Motability.

Maybe wrong, but is the Yaris or Yaris Cross not offered as a Manual drive?

Anyone had issues with the 12 v battery going flat, like when you are away fror a couple of weeks?

My question is why do toyota not fit light in glove compartment of my 2023 yaris

The windows look very dark almost black what is visibility like
