I haven't decided on auto or manual yet, though I prefer manual. Every car I have owned so far in my 34-35 years of driving has been a manual Honda/Acura of some type, so this will be my first Toyota, let alone first auto if I go that route. I have to buy auto if I buy locally, since, the closest Yaris SE manuals I found being sold are in Utah or California 500-600+ miles away - meaning that I would have to buy them long-distance and then either have it shipped to me or fly out, pick it up, and drive it back home to Arizona. I'm going to test drive the auto here locally first and see how it feels, before I really decide one way or the other. I guess I am getting old, lol. I know that a properly-tuned Yaris SE manual will be a lot more fun/spirited to drive, and would definitely bring back the fond 80's memories of having a new little 1986 Honda CRX Si to throw around town.

 The first 2015 I saw in person (early Fall 2014 ?) was a white SE with an all black (except faint white stiching on the seats) interior. Very sharp  . The only things I didn't like were the 'boy wonder-ish' wheels (which could always be changed), and the backup light at the bottom of the rear bumper (I saw a new Mustang a few days ago that had the backup light in that same location).
