Want opinions automatic vs. manual transmission - Toyota Yaris Forums

*kimona* · 06-08-2007, 09:10 PM

Well, I've always driven a stick, and that's what I wanted when I went out shopping for my Yaris.

But the dealer only had one Yaris, and it was an automatic!

Guess what? After struggling with whether to buy it all day, I finally said okay. Best decision I could have made.

I have to say... I love the automatic! It's quiet, responsive, upshifts and downshifts flawlessly, and it's fun to drive. Hey, the gas mileage is basically the same as the stick.

With high-tech automatics like this, I don't think I'll ever go back to stick.
