Its a shame he did an autobox version. These cars are FAR less sucky with a manual in stock form.

I'm actually surprised Toyota sold them in automatic variants at all. Given these are an absolute bargain basement car and are pretty underpowered to begin with.

In the US almost every yaris I've ever seen in person is an auto. When I test drove them in 2008 they only had 2 manuals on the lot and probably 15-20 autos. Fortunately for me the dealership had the color I wanted in manual.

In America, knowing how to use a manual is fairly rare. I'm ashamed to admit that even I don't know how to use a manual (yet)
