Tomato my old friend, believe it or not, automatics are becoming much more common in smaller European cars as well!

And there is nothing wrong with the Yaris auto! It makes for easier city driving, and you can shift the transmission if you want (I do it all the time).

The bottom line is that it is personal preference which type of transmission people prefer. I used to want manual transmissions, but now prefer autos and have them in all three of my vehicles. If I really want performance and the ability to shift, I take out one of my motorcycles...
