the only other way to get a stick is to spend a bunch more for the se. not surprised that the yaris stick will get easily over 40 mpg's. the previous stick i had got 43 mpg's every tank and the new yaris is rated 2 mpg's higher. but, yeah, pics or it didnt happen. |

Just curious, but do you guys with sticks get better mileage because you can coast in neutral?

I filled my 2012 Yaris this morning., The dealer sort of had it full when I picked it up on 11/10/2011, I would guess they stopped at first click, but it will take another gallon after that. It had 1.1 miles on it at pick up. So on 390 miles it burned 9.035 gallons yielding an economy of 43.05 MPG. I drive about 95% highway miles, so I would expect to see 44 to 46 MPG at my next fill up due to the fact I always fill to the neck and the dealer hadn't.
P.S. Maybe I can take some pictures this afternoon and post them. |

Nice. My choice would be between white and this color. White is more classic and timeless, but this color looks like it's kind of classic too. I think the Lagoon Blue is distorted on Toyota's website - looks much better in your pics.

Just filled up 30 minutes ago got 43.13 on this tankful.
The background of the picture is my house. The Lagoon Blue Mica appears to be different shades depending on the amount of light that hits it. I am quite happy and satisfied with this car, it lacks the acceleration of my Golf TDI, but corners really well giving the feeling it is on rails going around curves. I was going to get a Scion iQ, but because they are not offering the 6 Speed manual in this country and only the doggy CVT automatic, I had my dealer cancel my order and switch it to a Yaris back in September. I have been enticing those prospective iQ buyers that want a manual transmission to look at the Yaris.
