this being the first and only clutch car I have driven I have to say it only took me like 5min to get the hang of it. About 2 days to fully get the Hang of it and not kill it taking off from a stop. But now it is smooth as can be I love it.

My new Yaris is typical I suppose. It's very light on the clutch ( and high pedal ) and the shifting feels firm, yet notchy.
Meant to remind that this is economy car material folks.

The popular economy cars tend to have some of the nicest feeling clutch&shift action in the business. It's the heavy weight that have to work real hard to simulate the same feel.
If you're willing to get on the gas early and keep the revs up, initial take-off on the Yaris is a breeze. It's the experience driver who instinctively tend to be very gentle on the gas during take-up, which could make it a little tricky on fussy Yaris that needs to be worked in. |

After using a DSM clutch for a long time, this thing is a welcome change. I might stall a couple times a year due to carelessness. It isn't the cars fault... I mean, who blames the car?
