...from the stress and into the lap of comfort.
It had to be a road trip, though. We love driving and we’re always looking for ways to drive down, no matter the distance. But we didn’t want to arrive in Goa feeling fatigued after the journey. We wanted to make the most of this short, impromptu trip. Thankfully, the new Toyota Yaris was up to the task.
The seats, for instance, offer great under thigh and lumbar support, and that goes a long way in reducing fatigue, especially after spending long hours behind the wheel. The controls are also intuitively placed, so everything falls at hand naturally. Plus, the infotainment system can be operated using gesture control, and that allows the driver to stay focused on the road.
The drive to Goa is quite spectacular and if you are the kind who loves to soak in the sights along the way, the Chorla ghat, just before the Karnataka-Goa border offers some spectacular vistas. But the real draw is the tight and twisty roads. And tackling these in the Yaris turned out to be a revelation.
