Mine idled at 550 before I cleaned the TB.

Aha! I was wondering what the reason might be re my '14 idling at a higher RPM than my '07. I've never cleaned the TB on my '07

I agree with many of the points Debby and Deathegg have made. I've owned a Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, a Mirage/Colt, a Scirocco, a Suzuki Swift, and a GTI...all with manual transmissions. Each of those was easier to drive than either my '07 MT or my '14 MT Yaris. I'd think even the 2nd Gen Yaris would be a hard adjustment for a novice manual transmission driver. My '14 doesn't seem to have the 'notchiness' in 1st gear that the '07 does. I'm PGD at launching on a steep incline in 1st gear. Could do this even in my '07 (at least when it was 'younger'). With my '14...forget it. One of the ramps in the parking structure at The Galleria in Houston is pretty steep (it is so flat here, this is the only time so far that I've encountered this issue

). I was on it in my '14 in bumper to bumper traffic one day fairly close to Christmas. I had to use the parking brake during that experience to keep from stalling.
