I am really surprised that being so popular it only took 10 days to fulfil my order. Maybe its Thailand's current economic downturn. What’s Really Ailing Thailand’s Economy? – The Diplomat

Seems my comment about preferring ICE cars was missed.

Firstly, the Yaris Cross HEV is not a non-ICE EV. You have posted over 400 posts advocating for non-ICE EVs and also have had many unwanted incursions into other topics pushing your seemingly relentless agenda. Your endless posting here on the Motor Forum seems to be existential for your current life. Seems an odd pastime for someone who has never found a car existential to modern life. Nevertheless, there are several benefits to consider with the Thai Yaris Cross HEV: Fuel Efficiency: With a rated fuel economy of 26.3 km/l, the Yaris Cross is highly efficient, making it cost-effective for daily commutes and long drives. This efficiency translates to fewer stops at the pump and more savings over time. Hybrid Technology: While it may not run solely on the battery, the hybrid system significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions. The electric motor assists the petrol engine, providing a smoother and more responsive driving experience, especially in city traffic. It’s worth noting that most non plug-in hybrids have limited EV mode ranges, so the Yaris Cross is in line with industry standards. Environmental Impact: The hybrid system helps lower your carbon footprint. By using less fuel and emitting fewer pollutants, you’re contributing to a cleaner environment. Range: The impressive 900 km range on a full tank is a major advantage for long-distance travel. You can cover substantial distances without worrying about frequent refueling stops. Reliability and Maintenance: Toyota is known for its reliability and low maintenance costs. The Yaris Cross benefits from Toyota’s extensive experience in hybrid technology, ensuring a dependable vehicle with fewer mechanical issues. Resale Value: Toyota vehicles generally hold their value well. The Yaris Cross, with its hybrid technology and fuel efficiency, is likely to have a strong resale value, making it a good investment in the long run. Comfort and Features: The Yaris Cross offers a comfortable ride with modern features and technology, enhancing your driving experience. The E-CVT transmission provides smooth acceleration and a quiet cabin environment. While it may not be a high-performance vehicle, the Yaris Cross excels in practicality, efficiency, and environmental friendliness. These benefits make it a worthwhile consideration for many drivers. Personally, I would have preferred the standard ICE version, but it is not available in Thailand.

'The motors are powered by a compact 178V lithium ion battery that has enough energy to carry the Yars Cross in EV mode for a mile or so (although it tends to cut in for shortish periods only on light throttle openings to increase overall fuel efficiency).'

My experience at Ranong DLT. I was out of the country for an extended period and my licence had already expired four years ago. I thought I would be able to just get a new one like I did 16 years ago by just getting my existing western licence transferred over but besides the visual tests etc I had to do the written and practical driving test as well, like I had done some 60 years ago at home. The peripheral vision one was a new one for me. I previously had problems last time with the depth of field test mainly because the test was following an eye operation where unbeknown to me Specsavers had failed to correct my longtime astigmatism, and my vision was blurred. This time I found the test easy it was just a matter of matching the light/shadow pattern from the first pin onto the second pin. I aced the 50 multiple choice road rule questionnaire in 1/4 of the allotted time mainly because of studying examples on website thai-exam.com The practical test was a different matter as I am used to driving with the rear camera and parking sensors but passed second time. The process from getting a resident certificate which depended on getting a letter from the DLT requesting visa information by post from Immigration to actually getting the 5year licence took me a month and it was only 2 days before my 3-month limit on driving on an International Permit/Home Licence expired. All in all, it was a rewarding experience and I learnt a lot that I didn't know before about Thai driving rules.

I am quite disappointed with the lengthy wait to receive my Yaris Cross English manual; it's been over a month, and the transition from a conventional ICE car to a hybrid has a significant learning curve. I was unaware of many precautions, but the European version of the Yaris Cross manual proved to be very helpful, as did the videos from The Car Care Nut that I found online https://youtu.be/SKoPqb0SZEM For driving my Yaris Cross, I primarily use the default normal mode, mainly on highways, and about 20% of the time at speeds of 60km/h or less on village roads. My average fuel efficiency is 28.2 km/l, but on a recent day when I pushed the car, I managed only 20.1 km/l over a short 23km drive. I believe I could achieve 30km/l or even exceed 3.5 litres/100km if I switched to eco mode and concentrated on minimizing fuel costs, although fuel is a minor part of the overall expenses of car ownership.

I watch the series some weeks ago. I found it very enjoyable.

Reminiscent of Hitler's efforts to create a so-called "Aryan" race, the euthanasia of individuals with mental and physical disabilities was in line with his ideology of "racial hygiene." This sought to purify the German gene pool by eliminating those considered unfit.

When you have no facts you knowingly make things up. Do you know what that is called?

I agree everyone should just face the facts. If Harris was the 'border Czar' please provide factual evidence that that was the case.

Yet not enough guts to support your posts with factual evidence.

'Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump'!

Yet most left here when discussing issues pull out the supported fact card.

The car is manufactured in Indonesia and then assembled in Thailand. 1) EV mode is designed for short distances and low speeds. Typically, you can drive in EV mode for about 1-2 kilometers (0.6-1.2 miles) at speeds up to around 25 mph (40 km/h) before the petrol engine kicks in. This mode is ideal for situations where you need to minimize noise and emissions, such as driving in heavy traffic or moving the car in and out of a garage. 2) Yes and Eco mode in your 2024 Yaris Cross is designed to optimize fuel efficiency by adjusting throttle response and other settings. It can be beneficial for both city and highway driving. Here’s how it works in each scenario: City Driving: Eco mode helps reduce fuel consumption by smoothing out acceleration and minimizing aggressive throttle inputs, which is particularly useful in stop-and-go traffic. Highway Driving: On the highway, Eco mode can help maintain a steady speed with less fuel consumption, especially during long, consistent drives.

Not as dumb as someone who is unable to show their imagined 4.7 point lead.

The sad fact is you have the onus of the burden of proof, not me. Please point to the proof of the 4.7% lead!

Perhaps you could share an up-to-date poll showing your magical 4.7 points? Otherwise, you omission will only add more proof to your continued state of confusion.

You mean like Trump debated Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Mike Pence, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, Doug Burgum, and Asa Hutchinson at the 2024 RNC Primaries. How did Trump do?

You seem confused Trump is the only coward here, except for those others who remain unaccountable, like their master, by being unable to support their rhetoric with evidence.

Seems facts 'escape you'! What happened to any place, any time? 'What happened to any time, any place to debate in September?'

Ever considered supporting your wild opinions with facts, otherwise others may consider you gutless.

Seems your issue here may have been the failure to have a following up test to ensure the first treatment worked. It is normal to have another breath test after completing a treatment regimen for H. pylori. This follow-up test is typically done to ensure that the infection has been fully eradicated. The breath test, often a urea breath test, is usually performed at least four weeks after the completion of the treatment. This follow-up is important because H. pylori can sometimes be resistant to treatment, and confirming its eradication helps prevent potential complications like ulcers or gastric cancer.
