According to Toyota.com, appears to be available only with a 6-speed automatic?

When you compare trims the lower trim says the manual is available, but when you select it only auto is an option. Hopefully the manual is actually available.

Why would I joke about such an important thing? It is kind of old news but I haven’t seen anything about it since the original announcement. I am going to read the Road & Track review now.

Reading the Road & Track article about it now, you are right. No manual hatch. :-(

I wish Toyota sold the real Yaris here in the states. If they sold the GR Yaris here I probably would have bought that instead of my Corolla.

They did through this year. No GR though. I think the 5 year old Mazda 2 is an improvement over the 2019 Toyota Yaris.

.. Why would a dumpy Mazda be important news? It has to be a curse.

I would consider one if I were buying a new car....I like basic, cheap small cars and this would fit the bill! I quite liked the other Mazda 2 we got here! Wish it was still a Mazda 2 here though...I like the front-end styling of the 2 better than this re-fascia into the Yaris.

Original 2 for reference:

I think we’re supposed to get it with a manual option in Canada?

Agreed the Mazda front looks much better.
