New Yaris Owner

[toad]

just stay positive! i bought my second yaris(one identical to yours except an 08) without knowing how to drive a stick period - the salesman basically taught me! it was significantly less than the other cars on the lot(as 'base' as you can get) and i figured 'i can do this!'. after stalling it a few times on the way home i practiced driving around my subdivision at night and in the mall parking lot down the street. yes, there were a couple times of remorse in my decision, but after a few days i was golden. good luck!

That's a tough one. I was originally gonna get a Mazda 2, and that was gonna be the plan.... on heavy traffic. I'm glad I dint go through that.

Welcome and congrats on the new purchase! Learning standard isn't that hard. Just find a open parking lot. I have a 2013 4-dr. lift back. I like the automatic because of the city and WAY to many stop signs! So, in my case an automatic is my best choice.
