WTF BBQ no 5pd option for 5 door s?

Can you absolutely prove that?

I think so.

Check out the specs on Toyota's Canadian website.

5 door LE and RS are offered with a 5 speed M/T.

Sorry, I thought you had typed something else.

Unfortunately, when it comes time to teach my kids to drive, I don't think we'll have a manual transmission to teach them on. My Yaris is an auto, as is my Jeep, and of course the wife's Odyssey is as well. So, unless we buy them their own car (or, God forbid, they buy their own like I had to!), they will be learning to drive an auto before they learn to drive a stick. That may not be a bad way to approach it, but they gotta know how to drive a stick!

Yes, it bothers me, too.

I've asked Toyota about it, and they essentially said their market research showed there wouldn't be enough buyers to make it worth their while. I know I would've bought one if I had the option.

When I asked the Regional Toyota Rep about this she suggested I look at the xD.

they lost a sale in my case

i was all about getting the 5 door S

i cant see trading in my 3 door for another 3 door with some body mods

ohh well

maybe we'll get lucky in 10

thats funny about the XD comment, they said the same thing to me about an XD

i was like hell no, those things look ugly

the yaris has the ability to hit the hot hatch category

the XD looks like it belongs in the zoo

we own 4 cars none of which are auto

just cant do automatic

dont blame u for wanting the standard tranny, i wont buy anything else

[jambo101]

This review of a 2009 seems to indicate a 5sp manual tranny

The 5 door is what made me start looking at the Yaris again. I stopped in the pouring rain to take another look. When I found out it was auto-only I almost dropped the Yaris from my consideration until we finally decided that we could get by with the three door. So far we haven't missed the extra doors (and my kids like it for some reason), but I definitely would have preferred five. Of course their marketing people will just add my purchase to the column for people who obviously prefer three door models... just like they decided for some stupid reason that us Californians don't want cruise control even though we live in a state with thousands of miles of barren highways.

In Canada we have 5 doors and 5 speed manual, I have one. Juste in the USA you don't have








.

[kustom play]

i think you can get the 5 door in stick

not just the S

dont quote me on that though

[GrayFox]

Manual all the way. PLus they are cheaper too!!

[BlackMan_Ink]

I hate that all the manual drivers are going away. More and more I run into drivers who are either surprised that I can drive stick, or wishes they could. I didn't like the 3dr Hatch it was too small, I stopped by Toyota to check out the 5dr. I wasn't floored, but I could see the potential, then they said no manual and I thought what a shame. I looked at the xD, but the dealer couldn't answer simple comparison questions like other 5drs that they considered their biggest competitors and how they thought their car outperformed them. The guy showed me a bunch of trick options and I had to bring up the engine, body weight, and suspension. I felt like they were trying to pull the wool over my eyes.

[Split]

xD has the 1.8L too. Like the Yaris TS. If i were in the states, i'd probably just get the xD.

[kustom play]

no where did i say that

slow down and try reading

i wouldnt buy the XD because its ugly not because of marketing as stated in previous posts

so you'd pay MORE for LESS by buying a 5door yaris?

[kustom play]

i would pay for what i like and since i do not like the XD then i would get the yaris

do you own an XD or something since your practically humping them

whats the point of your posts anyway?

do you just want attention or something?

or just looking to start more drama?

the thread is about no 5spd for 5 door S

not about how cool the XD is compared to the yaris

i swear to god you fill this forum with such useless crap and drama

go bug some other thread, im looking for peoples comments on yaris since you know last time i checked this is yarisworld now tamagolovesthexd.com

actually.. www.this is the internet.com

but hey i only pointed out that if you're complaining that the 5door yaris only comes in Auto, then maybe you should look at an xD.

and no, i don't nor will i ever own an xD.
