I just bought a brand new Yaris a couple of days ago, and when I start driving, the first time I put it into reverse, I hear a "clunk" noise as I change the gear, before I even start moving. If, still without moving, I take it out of reverse, put it into 1st gear, and back into reverse, it doesn't make the noise. What's the deal with that? I doubt there's anything wrong with the car, but I would like to understand what's causing the noise, and if there's a better way to do it so that it won't make the noise.

Every car I've ever driven has the same sound in reverse. They all also had more power than the Yaris, so it wasn't something I ever paid much attention to before. The Yaris tends to stall in reverse or first if not given the right amount of gas, so I'm more focused on it with this car.
