Default Re: Auto vs. stick, your opinion.

I know this is an old post but drove a 07 yaris today with the auto and I was d*mn inpressed! This thing had plenty of power, not a bad or noisy ride either for a small car. I was trying to sell my Tundra and get a new one but a 50 cents jump in gas made me rethink it again since my 2000 runs like new with 107k and is paid for I just ran some figures and my me driving 2000 miles a month is costing me 357 a month in the Tundra where the Yaris would cost me 147 a month. My payments would be around 160 per month and I could park the Tundra and use it for work only instead of all the time. I figured over 5 years the difference in gas to be over 12k at todays gas prices. The one I drove was on special for 12,900 but it was a hatchback and I really liked the 4 door sedan better and it looked better to but trying to stay on budget so I'm undecided yet.
