Manual transmission - Toyota Yaris Forums

The Yaris really isn't a forgiving car to get going. If it makes you feel better, I have stalled it more than any of my other 25+ cars combined. The clutch feel isn't great, prone to clutch-shudder, it has no torque, the engine is too quiet to hear half the time, idles low (mine is also 550rpm hot. Maybe a Cdn Yaris thing?), and the drive-by-wire is pretty slow.

It's pretty important to give the throttle a blip before engaging the clutch when stopped. It increases the exhaust velocity, which gains you a bit of much needed torque. Blip the throttle, then as the RPMs are coming down, engage the clutch and apply gas.

Cheers.
