I have a mantra when buying cars
4 doors, five speeds Japanese... Every time I ignore that message I regret it. I've always had a manual car, now ALL my cars have manual transmissions But it was hard to find a used manual Yaris. |

I'm surprised you'd have trouble finding a manual Yaris in Canada. From my experience with kijiji or autotrader, there are more manuals than automatics. I have the exact opposite problem. Everytime I stumble across a nice RS or LE model, it is, more often than not, manual and we drive automatics.

Manual due to economy and coasting. Very slow starting a hill and maybe over the speed limit when.... it just feels like the go karts I used to ride when I was young and also the age of marbles and home made nunchaku.
Though I used to drive a Mitsubishi slogan and a classic Mercedes convertible automatics which I hated due to no economy and no coasting.

I've always enjoyed driving manuals, and that is all I have ever purchased since my first car in 1982, but I am looking forward to finally trying my first automatic on my next car in a few years. Getting old sucks.
