Manual transmission - Toyota Yaris Forums

attrapereves · 02-09-2015, 10:27 AM

I drove a Chevy Sonic before getting my Yaris. The Sonic had a very high catch point. The car would also give itself a little bit of gas, meaning that from a complete stop you rarely had to give the car any gas. It was annoying at times, but also helpful.

One thing I find particularly difficult with the Yaris is the accelerator. It's easy to not give it enough gas, but just as easy to give it way too much and end up revving up to 3000rpm. I also find it hard to determine where the clutch catch point is. Like another poster said, switching from sneakers to boots can mess with you too. I've driven several manuals and the Yaris is one of the most difficult.

One question... About how much does it cost to replace the clutch on these cars?
