Transmission Difference - Toyota Yaris Forums

SpaceShot · 01-05-2011, 02:33 PM

I have the 3dr 5spd and I certainly prefer the performance of it to the automatic. But I was specifically looking for the bare bones model and coming from the Jeep or Pontiac that might be not be suitable for you.

I have very little stop and go driving so the manual is good for my commute, but I did suffer a severe muscle tear in my left leg from a mountain bike spill, and had to borrow a truck for a week because I couldn't drive the Yaris properly.

As for the utility of the 3dr, I added a class 1 hitch and hitch basket after I bought it. I carry 3 bicycles, my canoe, or a pair of large coolers without any trouble.
