TOYOTA YARIS ; THE SMART MONEY'S ON YARIS [South Wales Evening Post (Wales)]
(South Wales Evening Post (Wales) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The all new Yaris has a lot going for it. A sleek, neat shape that's designed to cut through the air. A choice of engines with Toyota Optimal Drive technology, designed to save fuel without relegating you to the slow lane. A refined, spacious interior. But what makes the new Yaris really stand out is the Touch & Go multimedia system. It looks like the kind of touch screen you might find in other cars (though rarely in a small city hatchback like the Yaris). But there the similarity ends.
That's because Touch & Go is clever. Really clever. It features an intelligent sat nav system with Premium Traffic Info. That means it gets real-time information on traffic jams and roadworks and takes it into account when finding you a route. There's another feature too, called Eco Route. This finds you the most fuel- efficient route for any given journey, monitors your driving style and helps you squeeze the most mileage out of every gallon. So, you're en route. But you need to fill up. Where's the nearest and cheapest petrol station? Touch & Go's Fuel Price Finder will tell you, and take you there. And when you get to your destination, its Google Local Search feature will locate restaurants, cashpoints, cinemas, theatres...it's like having a local expert sitting next to you. The Touch & Go system even connects via your smart phone to give you features such as the weather forecast, or even a parking slot finder, through its Connected Services feature. And when you've arrived, found that slot and need to park, Touch & Go has another trick up its sleeve. Engage reverse and the touch screen instantly switches to the rear-view camera, helping you to park with inch- perfect precision.
Technophiles and gurus have been talking about the 'always on' world for some time now. It's all about being seamlessly connected to information, whenever and wherever we want it. Now Toyota has brought it to life with the new Yaris, and just as important, they've made it easy to use.
Just get in, seatbelt on, touch...and go.
