Question about Yaris manual transmissions - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi all.

I want to get a general idea about 2nd gen Yaris manual transmissions. Especially would like to get North American owners input since there is a lot of highway drive there.

This is to do with the ratios.

According to my tacho in the Vitz RS, at 100kmh (60mph) engine does 3200rpm in 5th gear. I find this a little bit high when I compare it to the sedan I have in auto; Vios, which at 100kmh it does 2500rpm in 4th.

Do any other 2nd gen Yaris manual transmissions do any better ? any one get higher speeds with lower rpm ?

I would like to know if different markets use different ratios.
