The automatic is as true of an auto as they are, the stick shift is a very plain 5-speed affair.


Perhaps you're just too clueless to realize you're supposed to put it in D (or "4", not sure what's marked on the tranny column out east), and leave it there, unless you're doing some pretty heavy driving up the hills with a trailer (or maintaining traction on a slippery slope).

I had to mention it, I just heard some yuppie do the same crap with his BMW last week.

I'll try to ignore the comment about me being clueless. There is such a thing as an automated single clutch manual transmission available in Europe. It can also come with steering wheel paddles and the car overall is available with a market specific options such as a navi, start stop button, 9 air bags, integrated bluetooth and so on.

I already sent toyota a nice professional email about the situation so we'll see...
