Manual Transmission...Safety Issue!!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

There's a real simple fix to this:

GIVE IT MORE GAS.

Really. Your safety, your time, and your grey hairs are not worth the .5 MPG lost attempting to launch the car at the absolute lowest RPMs possible. I can't believe this thread even exists.

Sure the Yaris clutch isn't the greatest and the throttle is drive by wire but still... The Yaris was my second manual car ever and I got it after only 15,000 miles on an old Jetta. I stalled it twice at the dealership and then never again.

You shouldn't be getting into a manual car expecting it to launch exactly how you want. You have to launch it exactly how it wants to be. So adjust and learn how to drive the car, for the engine's sake and yours.
