My local Toyota dealer hates me because they have been calling and calling, trying to get me to trade in my '09 on a Gen 3 '12+ and I told them flat out "No dice, unless you come up with a manual SE."
There isn't a single manual SE on the lot. There isn't one in the region, or at port. There isn't even one on the boats over from Japan. They are not pleased with me, but it is the one thing I will not budge on. Not because it's more efficient or because it's fewer moving parts, easier to maintain, and will last longer than it's automatic bretheren. But because it's fun. And I can not have a tiny car like a Yaris with 106 beans under the hood and have the fun zapped out because the transmission shifts when it thinks it should, not when I tell it to. I should be able to rev it and rev it and rev it until the valves come out and dance around on top of the hood, and then change gear. ![]() Not to knock those that chose the automatic. I hate myself when I go through downtown Atlanta traffic. But there's a reason her's is the automatic and mine is the manual. ![]() -C
