Stick vs automatic - Toyota Yaris Forums

edmscan · 07-16-2012, 09:07 PM

I totally wish my stick was an AT ... sorry Yaris stick lovers but the stick in the Yaris is a pain in the ass. (Maybe it is just my car .. but I find starting from a standstill to be difficult at best. Other than that .. it is fine) Maybe someone has a suggestion ?

For those that will disagree with me ... I have been driving a stick for 29 years so I know what I am doing. I have never had an automatic vehicle .. but I do wish my Yaris was the first.

I only drive sticks and know exactly what you mean. The Yaris is weak letting out the clutch from a standing start. It took some modding to eliminate the problem.
