I'd get the manual if you enjoy driving,
if you are regularly stuck in rush hour traffic then go for the nanny tranny.

I enjoy driving and that's why all my cars have been manual.

Yes, one of the reasons I got a Yaris for commuting is its great gas milage.

However, I really don't care if I get 40 mpg or 35 mpg as I consider both figures good.
I just drive for enjoyment and don't worry about mpg.

i get 38 mpg (worse) when i drive my 5 spd 08 sedan S aggressively and 42 mpg (best) conservatively with everything stock at 85% hiway. i recently upgraded to 205/50/16 on alloys which is 10 lbs heavier from each stock 15s steels. added trd swaybar with sticky tires made me even more aggressive and now i get 32 worse to 38 best.

32 is when i feel like always in a hurry city driving and doing 85 on freeways. 42 is when i drive like doing a drive test with dmv and max 70 on freeways.

my upgrades to wider tires and swaybar makes my yaris a fire breathing YARIS.
