My comute to work went from 8 miles to 48 miles so I had to buy a comuter car.
I'm very happy with my new Toyota Varis (new EPA rating of 35 MGP - have not had a chance to measure it myself).

Everything seems fine (that was three days ago) including the hill-hold in PARK.
Am I in the clear or is there something in there I may have damage?
