How much abuse can the Yaris take? - Toyota Yaris Forums

The low gears on an automatic are for hills and other situations in which the automatic isn't optimal. It is not there for you to pretend its a manual transmission. Driving hard and slamming the gears in an auto is a surefire way to destroy the transmission.

Dont get the impression that Marfulion really cares about whats good for the car as its the company car so some one else will get to pay for any repairs on the car, also something to remember if ever thinking about buying a used fleet or rental car,
