READ YOUR OWNERS MANUAL!!

[Stargate YARlantIS]

oh my! lol driving in 3? I haven't driven an A/T up until about 4 months ago.... I go to get in my gf's versa and still find myself trying to put the clutch in on an A/T, force of habit I guess....

3 and D are seperated by a slight tap on the Yaris. It's a somewhat common thing for those not used to the car to have it in 3 for at least at moment especially since they aren't used to looking at the dash and don't notice the gear icons there.

The first Yaris I drove was an auto that I picked up as a rental at the Tampa airport one night. It took one glance at the instrument panel to realize there was a gear indicator there. Even driving at night in an unfamiliar place, I had no problem driving it, even downshifting into third to see how the engine would respond.

I can understand maybe not noticing for a moment or two; but to drive around for more than a few minutes without realizing it is beyond comprehension to me. Honestly, it scares me to think these people are operating a motor vehicle in traffic on public roads!

Actually, the way people drive around it, I guess it really doesn't surprise me...

Cheers! M2

maybe your comprehension skills should be the thing that is questioned?

Yeah, let's end the shifter talk. We don't want this thread locked.

[tuckevalastin]

why don't we, there is nothing that can be added to it?

Well, if you have been around here for more than two posts you might realize what I am talking about. But you are already proving yourself as probably one of the people this thread is targeting...

Really, which thread would that be? I ask because you seem to have failed to notice that a mod has posted a reply to this thread...

1) the fact that a mod posted on this thread means nothing

2) that was before the thread turned into nothing but talking about the person who drove in 3 in their a/t

anything else i seemed to have failed to notice?

MadMax although i agree with you, i believe you are wasting your time and energy trying to educated some people. just do what you do and mother nature will take care of the rest , if you know what i mean. Now all of you add to my FAQ so we minimize the duplication of trivial question

I think the FAQ is a great idea and from what I've seen it's coming along well

The moderator in question went to bed after posting, but indeed this thread is now pretty useless
