looking for a new SE manual transmission - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks all, as much as I wanted a MT Yaris the price/logistics of getting a manual just didn't add up. I ended up getting a 2013 Mazda2 MT for about $12,900, significantly less than even a stripper Yaris. I would have preferred a Yaris SE, but GST doesn't think us folks in Texas want a MT and I could not find a single dealer (contacted 5-6) that would submit a special order request (or whatever they call it), even for a 3-door L MT which one dealer said they might be able to get but then backed off that. Mazda seems to have plenty of MTs and I have to say the Mazda2 is a nice car, handles well and the transmission is smooth.
