The standard thermostat temp for this car is 180° F. While I'm sure Toyota knows what they're doing, the temp seems low compared to other cars I've had recently. Their thermostats were set in the 190° F range, maybe a scosh more.
Toyota does offer some higher temp 'stats - 182° F and I believe 184° F. Since I do a lot of low speed, short trip driving, would a higher temp 'stat help to get a quicker warm-up? What might be the downside to a warmer 'stat? Thanks!
