I have been driving Hondas for a lot of years, too and find the clutch on the Yaris a little touchy.

Me to.I think the engine is so quiet and the lack of a tach dose not help.Ive stalled the Yaris out many more times than any other stick Ive owned.31300 miles no problems.

I've stalled mine out a few times too, but I'm getting better. I found the clutch kind of loosened up once I had driven it a month or two, so it's a little easier to handle now.

My last stick shift was a 1988 Ford Escort GT I got rid of 13 years ago and the 2 cars I've owned since then were automatic. I drove the Yaris off the ot in Feburary with only 15 miles on it and have run it up past 3,000, and the clutch has gotten easier and I've gotten used to it again.

I occasionally still stall it out though, because I alternate between driving my car and my wife's, which is automatic, so I sometime forget, and I sometimes go for the clutch in her car and am surprised when it's not there.

I've only had my 5spd Yaris Hatchback 4 months and 3,000 miles, but I will report if I have any problems.
