Which one should I get ?

OKJeeper · 01-23-2006, 11:49 AM

Stick, always better to have more control over the car, get more power out of the engine.

wushumasterku · 01-23-2006, 03:07 PM

auto zaps some power.. no way for me.

birdy · 01-23-2006, 05:17 PM

I am getting a 5speed, I think on this car it would be a given.

swng · 01-23-2006, 06:18 PM

Just voted for automatic. It is great for city driving.

as400g33k · 01-23-2006, 07:07 PM

either is ok, but auto is a 1.5k option so went for the manual.

p2filz · 01-23-2006, 09:51 PM

wow 1.5 more damn for that reason alone i would choose manual although ive already chosen manual

swng · 01-23-2006, 10:00 PM

In an attempt to win you over to the automatic side, I want to say how about 1k or less in the US?

A car this small can only be properly enjoyed with a manual transmission. Actually, any vehicle can only be properly enjoyed with a manual transmission.

I'm an old fart who finds it difficult to lift that left leg anymore. I'm going with the automatic.

p2filz · 01-26-2006, 01:28 PM

yaris3 · 01-26-2006, 07:36 PM

you have the same car as me then haha mine is blue though.

The 5speeds on the wrx suck seriously that is the ONLY reason I got an auto. Every other car I have ever driven was a 5speed.

kralmrax · 01-28-2006, 11:33 AM

i opted for the automatic as a comprimise with the wife who cannot drive a stick, this way i may be able to get a bike come spring. i'm actually enjoying the automatic for the amount of start and stop city driving i do.

Peterama · 01-29-2006, 08:53 AM

auto for me I wish I could get stick but my wife drives it as well and she refuses to learn stick.....but let me tell you the auto is fun I dont regret it at all

Kouki_Trueno · 01-29-2006, 04:11 PM

Manual...

foober · 01-30-2006, 02:51 PM

I have yet to get my yaris. So this is good information. I'm worried about the stop and go city driving. And of course getting stuck in traffic jams. Been through too many in L.A. and san diego when i lived there. But could go manual considering i live in montana now. THanks for the info..
