My 2007 model has the same setup. This made it cheaper to build different versions for markets where the driver’s side can vary.

True, but I can’t lean back as much as I want when the gauge is in front of the wheel, even with the steering wheel adjusted.

Can you adjust the depth of the steering wheel too?
@Scout
Yes, it’s fine. I had a 2012 Yaris where it was all typical, but I really prefer the speedometer in the center.
I often sit in the back of a Yaris, and that design makes it much easier to see the speed. It helps with the boredom.

Haha that’s true.
I think they put the speedometer in the middle because some places have the steering wheel on the opposite side. That way they could use the same interior panels. I don’t know if that’s true, just a thought.
