manual vs. automatic - Toyota Yaris Forums

Zaphod · 11-10-2016, 08:41 AM

When it comes mileage you can't beat a manual gear box. You can throw it into neutral and glide, or keep it in your tallest gear for DFCO, or even just engine brake every chance you get with DFCO to save gas. Of course idle can typically run lower in neutral at a stop with a manual. All of these things mean you have to think preemptively. My wife learned to drive a stick on the Yaris a year ago, and one of the comments she made after getting used to it was that you really tend to think ahead a lot more. As an avid cyclist and motorcyclist I can say that thinking ahead and reacting preemptively is definitely the safer way to go anyway
