In 13K miles I have killed the engine at least 100 times . . . - Toyota Yaris Forums

In the first week I owned it, I stalled her at least once a drive. Weird weird clutch. But within a month I was fine.

Perhaps there's something wrong?

I don't think it's so much the clutch as it is the throttle delay. But I'm with you guys, been driving a stick all my life and this is the finickiest so far.

DING DING DING I think we have a winner..... well I think it is a combo of both, 1 the friction pont is an inch off the floor and 2 the slight lag in acceleration because of the throttle by wire.... over time you become acustome to it

i've only stalled about 3 times for as long as i've owned my Yaris. i think the clutch is actually good for a cheap car.
