I was nervous as hell ordering my 2015 SE manual Yaris from another state completely blind, having never test driven anything other than the 2015 SE automatic. Thank goodness Toyota managed to create a pleasant manual driving experience with the 2015 refinements (at least it seems fine to me, and comparable to my past Honda manuals). Even the throttle seems fine, once I got used to it after about a week. It's pretty easy now to get the RPMs at 1200-1500 for smooth, relaxed launching in first gear from stop. |

Honda Fit. Chassis code GE8. Made in Japan. |

If I wasn't limited to the North American market, i would also consider a "boy racer" Clio 200 EDC.

Maybe a new Tacoma. Hate wasting gas though, but it'd be great for winters around here which are notoriously difficult.
