The manual was just the opposite. It felt snappy in any gear, and pretty much at all RPM's. Based on my test drives, I wouldn't own a Yaris with an automatic.

I had quite a different impression after driving both the automatic and stick Vitz in Japan. Then, in the States, I test drove both versions numerous times before finally buying one. In the end, I bought the automatic; I wouldn't own a Yaris with a stick shift; I don't like the shifter, the gear ratios, or the clutch.
