Funny thing happened on a short trip to the store a few minutes ago. I realized that when I have to slow down for a turn I push in the clutch begin to brake and put the shifter from 3rd to 1st at ~18mph then back into 2nd and release the clutch after I finish making the turn. I also found that when I was turning into the store that I actually put the car into 1st. I guess shifting is so second nature that I didn't even realize I was going back into 1st. LOFL

So much for my great words of wisdom.

The 1.3lt engine model has a lot of torque and it isi easy to start on 2nd gear.

I don't know why, but I had a 1.3L Ford and it also had significantly more torque in the low end than the 1.5 Yaris. I drove the Ford uphill in Swiss Alps loaded with 5 adults on very steep and curvy roads, it pulled so easily.

It has to do with the rpms that the torque comes out.In the 1.3lt Yaris, it has more torque at about 2500-4500 rpms.
