The lack of a footrest/dead-pedal thing bothered me when I first purchased my Yaris, since I was used to driving/sitting in a certain position in my old car (a 2000 Accord). Once I adjusted my sitting/seat position to what is most comfortable in my Yaris, in relation to the positioning of the manual gearbox, my most natural/comfortable position has my left foot resting flat on the floor/carpet in front of my seat when not using the clutch, instead of stretched all out into the footrest area like it was on my Accord.
I also adapted rather quickly to having no armrest in my Yaris, and actually feel that an armrest would be awkwardly in the way on a manual Yaris, due to the positioning of the manual gearbox in relation to the seats, and how I sit comfortably. I found it was both natural-feeling and comfortable to rest my arm on the passenger seat near the gearbox when not shifting. Luckily I'm alone in my car 99.99% of the time, so the passenger front seat is a free-zone. To prevent oils from my skin from discoloring/marking the nice black SE seats, I bought a fluffy/comfy black towel, which I have folded and placed onto the side section of my seat where my arm would rest. It blends into the interior colors of the car seamlessly and is easy enough to remove and wash with my laundry every few months to keep it looking new/clean. In the crappy, bright-Arizona-sunlight pics below, you can see where the oils from my skin mark the towel where I rest my hand/arm. Time to wash it again soon. ![]()
