>>
It's called a tachometer.
>>
Why do you need a tach?
>>
>>16769883
>not knowing revs by ear
dont tell me its a 4 speed my man
>>
you don't need a tach
once you drive a car for a bit you get used to the sound of the engine for the speed you are going

if you still want one, you can buy a bluetooth OBD2 adaptor from ebay as well as a phone mount

I know on some cars a tach comes on higher trim levels, so you could spend a couple of dollars and an hour of your time installing it

5spd manuel, fucking bullshit. Dad wanted me to learn stick shift and thought a 2010 yaris was a deal for 4grand.
>>
>>16769960
I agree with your father's actions.
If you can drive standard, you can drive automatic.
But if you drive automatic, it's difficult to drive standard. If the car was bought for you, good. It's a low maintenance, low cost car that will allow you to save up for what you want.

No it's to teach you a lesson to buy your own car.

The first car I "had" (wasn't mine, but it was on a year+ loan) was a 5-speed E200d from 1993. It too had no tach, but it's not like you actually need one to drive manual.

It's not too late to take the car back and let you work and save for your own son.

What the fuck is a "rev counter"?

Do you mean a "tachometer"?

Your parents should sue you for being this autistic.
>>
>>16769960
I have an 08 5 speed and I'm fine with no tach you ungrateful little faggot

w-what
i daily two automatic cars and i still can heel-toe better than any of my manual driving friends
>>
>>16769960
Holy fuck entitled crybaby.

>girl in car
>"anon why do you shift when you have automatic?"
>what
>"only manual cars have tachometer and your does not"
>op's face when
>>
>>16770284
and heel-toe is relevant in everyday driving because ?
>>
You deserve to be shot you ungrateful piece of shit.
>>
>>16769960
That sucks. The 2011 Yaris has a tach.
>>
I think if you connect your phone to your car using an OBD2 to bluetooth adapter, you can see your revs using an app.

You don't need a tachometer to drive manual, it'll be easier to learn but it's just a crutch.

>>16770432
but you don't need one
i learnt to drive in a manual car without a tachometer

the only reason why you might want one is to learn to rev match, and even then it's quicker to do it by ear and sight of the road
>>
>>16770696
This is so true. It's really just nice to see the revs increase. It's not all that useful except for figuring what Redline sounds like so you don't have to look when you hit it
>>
>>16770432

most cars didnt have tachs until like the late 70s

For 3 years I drove an 88 Suzuki samurai with no tach no airbags no air pressure in the tires and no roof in rain hail heat waves and worse. I still have it and love it
>>
>>16769883
It appears that they also bought you one with a defective engine, dead battery, failed brakes and low on oil.

I'd sue.
>>
>>16769883
It has a name, you know.

crybaby didn't got the car he wanted

>>16770432
plenty of yuropoors have cars with no tach
>>
>>16769960
The Yaris didn't come with a tacho? What a piece of shit.

>>16770310
Fuck off poorfag. You just had shit parents.
>>
>>16769883
No Toyota Yaris hatchbacks came with a tachometer until 2012 in America. Here.

>>16773508
It's entirely possible to operate a manual vehicle without one but what's the benefit of not having a tachometer in the first place?

Yuropoors just like to make things needlessly more difficult. "Look how spartan and minimalist we are, silly Americans."
>>
Stfu bitch be grateful ya cunt nigger
>>
>>16770432
Only shit drivers need tachometers, unless you have a completely silent engine you can tell by ear when you need to shift

>>16769883
Get a pod tach from autozone
