Question for the 09's with the 1.8

I have a previous generation 1zz and was wondering how the idle was on the 09's with the 1.8.Looking at an 09 Trix with the 1.8 and was hoping the idle was smoother than my older one.If you can let me know mileage and smoothness,very much appreciated.

Hey Kev, I don't remember my daughters 09 1.8l running anything but smooth. I drove it around with 4 adults and a baby plus stroller, beach bags, etc. for a good part of a day and I was very impressed! (may also have been because it was such a contrast to my stiff rough loud riding XRS!).

idle is good n smooth. only couple o times it drops a bit at a stop with the a/c running . has never stalled. hardly noticeable rev drop. mpg in the high 31 mpg average with a/c running. drive by wire and clutch took a bit of getting used to.
