My 2 cents on automatic, if a household is going multi vehicle, there should be an automatic in the stable. Take a fall in the winter, strain/sprain/break something in your shifting arm and your screwed for transportation with only a stick shift in the garage.

As someone who has owned an automatic equipped Yaris for 12 years, I can say it does not suck. I love having a stick as a secondary car, but would never give up automatic for DD.

Also, due to my own personal experiences and those of others around me over the past 3 years, I am now firmly of the belief a modern A/T requires far less maintenance $$.

That said, your wife should at least learn to handle a stick, but not be forced to live with it.

Using the yaris as an example of a "modern" auto is funny

But youre not wrong on the low maintenance front.

'Modern' relative to the '80s. In those days, I would take a stick over auto without question in terms of reliability and maintenance costs.

I got a wet dream of swapping a Ren motor and 6 speed into a BRZ, their prices are dropping so fast for auto's its actually not hard to find one thats been in a fender bender for less than 7.....


ive always wanted to know what it would feel like with a little more power little less weight, and lot more brap


me and tom are looking at getting out of the game for the same reason. lack of support and the car itself is limited on what it can achieve. its a commuter car, i went too far with it.

The #wrecho is bound for auto-x/track use if it can survive until my wife is done commuting in it.

I even found a greddy supercharger thats been sitting in my garage for a year.

I like the uniqueness of the yaris/echo. Reliablilty is great, too.

I just couldnt DD and auto. Maybe if it was properly quick i could, but i still prefer a manny tranny.
