Welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

Moved to the Yaris club.

If it's a brand-new car they will need 100-300 miles to bed in, if your new to driving a hybrid it will take time for you to adjust your driving style

As your new Yaris has both regenerative and normal braking, it does take a bit of getting used to.

Try lifting off the throttle earlier and then a longer period of light braking, you can then recover more energy than a late hard stop.

You'll soon get the hang of it !

Anticipation and smooth driving reap their rewards in hybrids.

PS. I had 4 hybrids before I traded up to the mental GRMN.

They do feel a little "grabby" when you first start driving it, you'll soon get used to how it works.

As Martin say's, lift off your throttle earlier and feather your brakes, the lightest touch will start to slow you down.

As above, just give them a few miles to bed in and get used to them and they should be fine.
