2009 Yaris "S" - no 5MT Hatchback? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

The Yaris S is only available in certain regions of the country without it being a special order. Namely the Southeast and Southwest regions of the country.

For the rest of the country, the Yaris S has to be special ordered. Yes, I know it is really a preference order, but the dealerships call it a special order.

The 1431 model, other wise called a Yaris S 3 door comes standard with a 5 speed manual gearbox. An automatic gearbox is an option and is model code 1432.

The five door Yaris S is model code 1472 and only comes as a automatic gearbox model.

The Southern California region mostly gets automatic cars that is why you found the automatic out there.

If you order a Yaris S be prepared for a wait of three to six months to get the car, if you are not is the South or Western part of the country.

If you want to see a Yaris S with all the variations, go to Toyota.com and click on the build a car button and put in 29603 as a zip code. This is the Greenville, South Carolina area.

Good Luck getting your Yaris S.

The strange thing in the Southeast region inventory websites is that no model number is given for the liftback. The description is just "Liftback".

Thanks for the detailed post.

I'm in the Southeast. Greenville, SC is about an hour away, no problem.

When I try your tip with the 29603 zip code, I only see 1422, 1441, 1442, 1462, and Yaris Liftback. If I select Liftback, there is only 1 car, and not a Yaris S.

Are you seeing something differently? Thanks again for the hand holding. Cheers.

Found out today that I *can* get the 2 door hatchback in "S" trim level with the 5MT. There's *one* on the way, and it's not the color we want, so we'll probably have to order it and wait like 3 months. Unfortunately, Toyota in Hawaii (Servco) is not connected to Toyota USA, so they do things a little differently.
