Manual transmission - Toyota Yaris Forums

Well look at Canadian Monsieur Fancy-Pantalons here with his Canadian tach and manual transmission ;)

But seriously, 550 revs at idle? 1100 to shift? I don't have a tach in my Yaris, but pretty much every other car I had before idled around 950 to 1100 and I shifted at around five grand. Shifting up at 1100? Do you get mistaken for a geographical feature a lot? :P

Even though I have been driving a standard for over 30 years .. when I got the Yaris .... it was a bit touchy. I stalled it a few times.

But now I am pretty used to it and it works well. But it is definitely harder to use than my 1980 Toyota Tercel, 1980 Honda Civic or 1987 Honda Accord that preceded it.

My fave of them all ... it is a tie between the Tercel, Civic and Yaris. They were all great cars.

I shift at about 2500 rpm.
