Didn't buy; awkward shifting? - Toyota Yaris Forums

otterhere, you do realize that you're in a vast minority, right? Toyota isn't going to change a thing about the Yaris because for every one of you, there are a hundred like me that think the car is fine just the way it is. Give it up.

On the topic of the OP... one of my only gripes about this car is the gearbox. If you have ever driven a manual Honda, you'll realize the gearboxes feel a lot more natural. Not sure why... anyone have an answer for that?

However, the Yaris's gearbox "issue" isn't a Yaris thing... it is a Toyota thing. Oh well. I wouldn't mind seeing a Yaris with a tiptronic and/or a paddle shifter, but that won't happen, and from a business perspective it probably shouldn't. Can't wait for a la carte cars.
