My salesmen explained a lot of things with the yaris and was very thorough. Plus he was required to explain most of the stuff anyways. However the overddrive (3rd gear) was the very first thing he explained to me when i stepped in for the test drive. Im happy he explained it to me then because I didnt know squat about cars at the time.

I like the design of the a/t shifter. You can tell which gear you shift into when pretending to be a manual without accidently shifting into neutral!

Glad you solved your problem though.

Haha that happened to me in the first few days of ownership. "Why is the engine so damn loud at highways speeds?" It wasn't until I looked in the manual that I figured it out. I was even a bit scared that I might damage the car by shifting into 4th.

That's what happens when you are so used to driving stick that all those little grooves on the Auto confuse the hell out of you.

Was not my problem. Was otterhere's.

My salesman did not take the time to explain it to me though. Luckily I already knew.

Actually, I had to show him the sliding fold flat rear seat thing. They were clearly no very educated on the Yaris.
