Yes, the manual can be more fun to drive (have an 09 with a MT), but don't knock the auto, it's quite responsive.

Probably because The tranny doesn't have to shift a bloated heavy-ass car frame, lol.

On a side and good (?) note:

I talked with the internet sales manager over the phone for this specific dealership and he said that it was an A/T... Which I know for sure was labeled with an M/T. So who knows what happened there.

The guy was nice enough to talk with me about my financing options as they have a first-time buyer program. And he'll be sending me some pictures of the Yaris (interior and exterior) to make sure it's in good condition and whatnot...

Now granted this Yaris doesn't have some of the features I want, I do find the price to be really good for a 2008.

Am I just being a picky bitch seeing as I really am interested in a Yaris S Sedan? lol
