Holy crap this manual transmission on car is too sensitive. I stalled it like 8 times already, 4 times during test drive. I drive a big rig so I have some exp. in manuals but this will take some getting used to. Seems like car wants gas immediately upon release of clutch. Can you float these gears?

You do get used to it and the stalling will stop. Yeah, 1st gear is thirsty for gas which is ironic since the Yaris is the most fuel efficient non hybrid/non micro car available.

Congrats on the purchase and great deal! Wow, I guess people can now get deals on these now that gas is cheap again. I bought my '07 used with 35K (no power pack) for about $14K in July (they were asking $15K).
