Automatic or manual transmission - Toyota Yaris Forums

Agreed, I purposely sought an A/T in my Yaris and I am glad I did. I drove the M/T and wasn't overly impressed with the clutch. I find the A/T to be a great choice because you can leave it in 'D' and just drive, or you can downshift to '3' and even '2' in certain circumstances and control what gear the car is in. As I've stated before, you can shift an A/T, but you can't get a M/T to shift automatically!

I also have an A/T in my Jeep, people give me shit about it until I easily go places they have trouble with in their manual transmissions.

Cheers! M2
