You want a car for performance and you are getting an auto Not trying to be a dick but with the 5 speed this car is fun to throw around turns and pop the clutch although not very fast. Nothing under 15k with an auto is going to be fun or have good performance. You might want to look at getting a used WRX

I think he's implying that it's more "fun" to drive. Nothing about guys with the 5speed being cooler. Autos are good for the quarter mile, but this is your DD. Like the reasons he stated, it would seem like more fun to pop the clutch, shift when you want, and just feel like you have control of the car. Honestly, if my car was an automatic, i'd feel like i am in a rental car. Your best bet is getting the blitz S/C kit. Pretuned, put it on, and don't worry about your engine blowing up. You can go the turbo route, but that's a lot of work and you gotta know what you're doing. |

yaris is the antonym for performance. im pretty sure no one has yet to break into the 15's in the quarter mile, not sure though i havent looked in the thread that covers that in a LONG time, so that should put things into perspective. the quickest i got was low 16's and i had an intake, header, no cats axle back exhaust, light weight pulleys and more. but i also had my back seat still installed which might have helped to have that taken out cuz it weights 60 or 70 pounds and i have about another 80-100 pounds in bracing that probably didnt help. and heavy 17 inch wheels. if i had light weight 15" rims with decent rubber i think i would have made it into the 15's instead i opted for boost and now 15 second quarter miles should be no problem |

maybe a "thing of the past" in America - thankfully everyone else seems to be alot smarter about cars and still drive sticks. travel outside of the U.S. and look around - you'll see more manuals than autoborings. |

there is no "feel" about it. you do have more control and more power available under a manual. |

Slowy getting there

I wouldn't know how automatics feel or drive. Never owned one. When I was shopping for my Yaris I told the dealer that I would not buy an automatic and if they tried to sell me one I would go somewhere else. So they gave me mine that rolled off their truck the day before. It hadn't even been to the detail shop yet still had the white stickers on it
