So..considering a yaris but performane is an issue.

You want a car for performance and you are getting an auto Not trying to be a dick but with the 5 speed this car is fun to throw around turns and pop the clutch although not very fast. Nothing under 15k with an auto is going to be fun or have good performance. You might want to look at getting a used WRX

you think an automatic transmission is a downfall of a car? i have a friend who runs a 13 second pontiac grandprix on an auto tranny, nobody laughs at him. If you think by buying a manual tranny car it somehow makes you cooler then the rest your wrong, get with the times, manual trannys are a thing of the past.

if going fast in a straight line is your thing, this is the wrong car. it can be fun if you like to turn bc of its weight, but you may be better off looking for something like an SRT4 or an old MX6 GT.

for a small car? yep. you loose 20-percent of your power right off the bat.

and he'd do it in 11 seconds with a 5sp.

maybe a "thing of the past" in America - thankfully everyone else seems to be alot smarter about cars and still drive sticks. travel outside of the U.S. and look around - you'll see more manuals than autoborings.

Word; Americans are fat lazy fucks that don't want to shift I have driven both the 5speed and auto yaris liftbacks and you have to be on crack to think the auto is anywhere near as fun to drive.

Yeah, gonna have to disagree with you on that comment. I currently have an auto and I can throw mine just as well as a manual. Most of the time if it's a "curvy track" ahem, i'll probably never even make it out of 2nd, sometimes into 3rd. Auto is not a crutch
