Today I show the cool features on the manual transmission in the 2023 Toyota Corolla! Full Review: • 2023 Toyota Corolla XS... Ask For Ephraim: www.southtowne...
What next for Ben ? Eating with a knife and fork ....without self harming ? Get a grip dude not it's not a dark art like front brake on a moto-sickle whatever one them may be..wonder if a wee hint of GINGER at work as the Dad o cat voice is on point
I'd rather watch something actually insane, like people getting shot. I can appreciate the fervor. It is not that special. This was already like watching a lame horse walk.
Everyone is bashing how it makes it unfun, and too easy? Like cmon, we're losing people that want to drive stick. Idc what the car can do as long as there's clutch im driving it. Newer manual transmission cars are a rarity, and this can help give manuals a little boost! EDIT: There's a fair bit of you that can't understand that manual cars are going extinct. It shifts, it has gears, it's new, it's a manual in my book idc about the damn extras
Bro driving manual with those shoes he needs the help lol. Ive only ever owned manuals since my first car 11 years ago. When I finally got a new job where I had to wear shoes like that I found out what a PITA it was to work the clutch on my MS3 with dress shoes on.
@@daveswietlik6291 i have the same issue with work boots so i change into shoes for driving as soon as i clock out. Makes the drive home so much more comfortable.
When you have an insane amount of horsepower then a manual doesn’t make sense. Better have those for the lower HP vehicles where one mistake doesn’t blow up the transmission.
@@srtmetal7647he isn’t saying it can’t be done but it definitely is way easier to blow your transmission up when you’re at 6000 RPMs and you accidentally miss a gear and down shift instead of up shifting.
@dilloncordial3190 I've heard this argument. Only people that are unaware how a manual works say this. You auto guys are out here thinking us manual guys are just breaking into the wrong gear blowing engines.
As a severely gutted Mazda drift car driver I think the roll back feature deserves to have your man card removed indefinitely. Lol 😂 what losers need that just buy a auto if you suck ass
Toyota has had a hold function since the 80's. My 1980 Celica has a break that I can pull up with my hand that stops the car rolling backwards. Amazing how advanced it is.
My dad always taught me that if you learn something, like driving stick, in a car that's a piece of crap, you'll be brilliant at it when you try a new car lol.
not wrong at all, lol, i first learned in high school in my friend's Mini, that thing's bite point was so unforgiving that when i transitioned into my brother's GTI for a bit (i had a bigger car that he needed for touring with a band) it was easy as heck. my current Kia Forte is manual and is comfortable, but not quite as nice as that GTI
Newer manuals are so incredibly easy to drive that some of them are literally impossible to stall. Any of the 10th gen Civic manual transmissions, you can literally just drop the clutch with no throttle and it will pick up and start rolling like nothing happened.
As an American who has been daily driving manuals for years, I agree. My old Civic SI had an indicator light by the tachometer that would flash at suggested upshift points; I eventually just learned to block it out. The car I have now displays what gear you are in on the instrument panel……though I admit that has actually been helpful a couple of times.
@@nikkoshodo It’s a 2021 WRX. You can actually turn the gear indicator off, but it grew on me. I don’t often really need it, but a situation arises here or there when I forget what gear I am in for one reason or another. It is nice not having to take my eyes off the road for a second to look at the shifter, etc.
It's a cool feature that's been around for a long time. Subaru's in the 80s had it. But I don't think that takes away the fact Toyota still offers a proper manual today.
@@AttackOfTheZ0mbies in other cars its called hill start assist (can be found in 2013 focus being the earliest I know of) and auto rev matching first I've heard of was in the C7 corvettes
@@sk8s4aliving you can use the e break just put the e break on until your foot in on the gas then release once you're about to go. Iv used it on a hill before and it keeps you from rolling after trying to press the gas fast enough after releasing the break pedal.
@@jasonduffy7677 nah just quarter grab the clutch with the foot switch from brake to throttle then hit the throttle about half way down equalizing the speed at with you lift the clutch to the rate at which you press the throttle. do that successfully and you will never roll back.
There's definitely a way of dressing in sales. I can spot them so far away almost every time. Body language and way of speaking is super different too. It stands out quickly.
@@DerEchteBabothey have benefits, they’re usually cheaper to repair and replace, give the driver more control and can help save fuel, it just seems to be the US where manual cars aren’t common.
"Avoids that awkward rollback" feels like an announcement by the professor in Futurama: "Good news everybody! After only a decade of electronics and software research we've fixed the problem we created by removing the break lever!"
@@VideoArchiveGuyhow? its literally a manual transmission. the corolla isnt a sports car so it makes sense to have these technologies. its a real manual thats suited to traffic and beginners
Everyone: A handbrake is a great way not to roll backwards. Toyota: let’s remove that hand brake, replace it with an electronic brake, then install another electronic brake so the car doesn’t roll back!
Thing is, my wifes VW passat 2014 model has auto hold in it. Its nothing new to the car world. And makes drivers more lazy as they dont have to pull the handbrake button anymore. I drive her crazy when i drive the car as i turn autohold off and usually forget to put it back on so when she next uses the car, she gets a fright when it starts to roll back lol
@tomr6955calculators are just for people bad at maths synchromeshes are just for people who cannot drive PROPER manual motor powered vehicles are just for weak people who are too lazy to use their legs
In Australia, you legally need to be able to do that to be able to drive a manual, they require you to disable all driver assistance technology for the exam
I have an old jeep wrangler with a 5 speed and no assists. It will be the vehicle my daughter learns manual on. If you can drive with no assists you can drive anything.
1. Pretty much every modern manual (including mine) has auto-hold. 2. To me, auto-rev matching takes the skill and fun out of driving a manual, which is kind of the whole point. Getting that perfect rev match is so rewarding when you've earned it yourself.
Agreed. On your point two, after getting proficient at rev matching on a synchronized transmission, the next level of skill would be driving a 10/ 13/ 18 speed unsynchronized transmission. One does not need to double clutch if one can do perfect rev matching, but if one makes a mistake it might get very awkward and very expensive quite rapidly.
@@angelito4058 I have not driven a huge number of different transmissions despite every vehicle I have purchased for myself being a manual, but I have found that heavier duty synchronized transmissions do not like the driver attempting to shift without clutching. In a light, small, sporty 2-door with a 5-speed, no problem. SUV with a 6-speed manual, it will tolerate with some protest. Trying it in a 1-ton diesel pickup truck with a 6-speed manual, not good. Step up to a truck tractor (Freightliner/ Peterbilt/ etc.) with an unsynchronized transmission and the most proficient drivers only need the clutch to start from a dead stop.
I believe ypu can turn it off in some newer mt cars tho right? If u can, just save it for the track. Personally, I don't want to muck about with that in traffic
Manual is more fuel efficient than any automatics.The gearbox is much more reliable and it will let your car accelerate faster. Hopefully more people will drive manual.
Literally each of these points has not been true for at the minimum 7 years now. Modern automatics pound-for-pound have met manuals in fuel efficiency and, depending on the _kind_ of automatic transmission, will blaze past _most_ manual cars, also noting that "most" are probably 15-20 years old comparatively. Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't trade in my manual until its engine blows itself to pieces, at which point I'll go straight to EV. The most sensitive automatic doesn't even get close to the intimate feel that manuals have in terms of your control. You have to kick an automatic in the ass for it to respond how you want with _everything_ you do. Stomp on gas to force it to switch gears, stomp on brake to force it to a complete stop because the engine is always in first and always fighting you. Last time I drove an automatic I found it extremely annoying.
@@Providence83 Yes, you are right. I did some checking, there is around a 10% improvement for automatics over manuals for new cars. There are now more gears and the computer can shift at the optimal points. Thanks for pointing out my mistake
@Sergio Zelaya Scott say that after driving on the streets of San Francisco or up in mountain communities with 8° grades at intersections. I've driven in both and that suby clutch saves your clutch and foot.
Came here to say this! I had an 88 DL wagon and thought it was amazing for the time. It also had the e-brake on the front wheels and the spare tire in the engine bay. My mind was blown lol
Yup. It went away when they went to hydraulic clutches, but it's back on the newer ones with stability control. Best part about the electronic version, it works when backing up a hill in reverse.
The only thing it does alone is the rev matching, and to be honest it's a pretty good feature. It still gives you all the control over the gears and clutch, it just makes downshifting easier
@@EMB1199 some things some people like, some things some people dont like, me personally I hate all the new gadgets in vehicles, i think it makes people lazy. My Acura MDX has all kinda of bells and whistles, i turn them all off as soon as i start it.. my buddy has the same vehicle and he loves all the gadgets 🤷🏿♂️
@@EMB1199 if you can’t turn off the auto rev match feature, it would be a real shame. The rev match downshifts, especially the heel & toe downshifts are the best part of driving a manual. If auto rev match is always on, it’ll be hard to practice your downshifts properly.
@@dankmemer2774 I don't really like to heel e toe, I do it because it's needed, but I enjoy the manual because it gives me more control over the car, with clutch fiddling and gear choice, so if it's just the heel e toe that is automated it's a win for me, plus I bet the gear chance would be smoother and faster
@@EMB1199 it’s never about speed when you opt for a manual car especially with them automatic these days shifting so fast. for me, when I nail a perfect heel toe, it’s orgasmic. The satisfaction is unparalleled. I’m trying both “big toe little toe” and actual “heel and toe” methods. I find that if you are applying low to moderate braking pressure, big toe little toe is enough. But if I am applying high brake pressure, actual heel toe is better. Between having an auto rev match that can be toggled on and off vs no auto rev match, having it is better. But between permanent auto rev match and no auto rev match, I would rather bot have it.
I have this exact transmission. I don't think I have ever unironically used the imt button other than off the lot to try it out. The auto break hold is pretty neat, tho, but not a feature I use too often.
I immediately disengaged the hill hold in my 2011 STI. It would grab when I wasn't expecting it and annoyed the hell out of me. I've been driving manual for 27 out of my 41 years on this earth and have quick feet so I only roll back a few inches at most.
You can also apply the handbrake, if it's really steep and you have a bumper rider, and let the clutch out to the bite point, then release the handbrake. Easy way not to roll back.
You can also just get the clutch to slightly engage before letting go of the brake and quickly switch to the gas with your right foot. This way you won't roll back at all on most (not so steep) hills.
My car is from 1972 has a hold button as well, its called a handbrake, i pull it up, then when I want to set off I just bring the clutch to biting point then push the little button on the handbrake and move it down, best part is too its all mechanical, so I dont have to pay an auto electrician stupid amounts of money to fix it
ONLY if the dumb brand doesn't put the gas so low that you can't reach it. I can't do it with my car because the brake pedal is so high up that I can't "heel" or blip the gas.
No way! I cant believe a new toyota has a feature that has been around in manual cars for years. Absolutely insane and revolutionary. Please tell us more.
Toyota had these features for a few years now, maybe it’s something new in the region or the model idk. Having a button for the auto hold is overkill though, my Hilux doesn’t have a button for it it’s just on
That right there is where the problem lies today. You had a Dad teaching you how to be a man. These days every single mother shield their “little boy” from any chance of failure.
my old man was always way too akward at trying to teach anything so I got the briefing from my mom then they just let me go with my learners lmao@@byronn.2885 who cares bro also what are you all even talking about
I dont drive manual, but i ride sportbikes. I dont understand the need for heel-toeing. If you down shift, the engine naturally slows the car, so unless you're going way too fast up to a red light, theres no need. Just down shift and revmatch with your whole foot.
Came here to say this it was mechanical back then and in the mid 2000s they chenged it to semi mechanical the clutch also has a delayed behavior on hills in the mid 2000s ones for hills using a ball bearing in the fluid.
@@lumbardo1041Thats a function not a solution for something that doesnt exist like in that clip . For exampel roleing back your car only means you dont have any clutch controle at all and meaby shoud lern that instat of haveing a aka technical solution at that point just drive automatic
Hill start assist seems like exactly the same as "auto hold". The first feature explained in the video. And preventing your car from rolling back on a hill does not require clutch control. If you are using your clutch to prevent your car from rolling down a hill you are slipping the clutch when you don't have to. You should either hold the brake until the clutch disc engages with the flywheel, then press the gas. Or use the handbrake.
@@JohnSmith-pn1vv Right? 99% of people probably couldn’t get the thing started let alone get it into gear and get moving. In fact most people aren’t capable of even checking their oil for cryin’ out loud.
I’d like to watch a gen z’s head explode when they see an unsynchronized double-clutch manual. Were you have to clutch out in neutral to synchronizethe next gear. Never need to do leg day… every day is leg day with one of those.
Yeah i had it on a budget vauxhall rental car recently lol. Premium feature it aint. Confused the hell out of me... I was trying to give it some gas to pull away briskly and the bloody thing kept rev cutting on me.
New feature had me laughing, this has been around for over 10yrs 🤷♂️ Plus the handbrake releases automatically anyway without the hill start button being activated and it automatically applies it when you turn off the ignition.
I like the roll-back of a manual trans! It's a bit of tactile feedback that reminds me I'm directly, mechanically in control of my 330ci's drivetrain & unless I'm in gear, clutch-dropped it is just a weighted object with 4 wheels
I used to shift from thebpassenger seat when i was super young. I learned to drive a VW beetle when i was 10-12 i can't remember. My grandmother's 70s super beetle.
You must be American… most people in my country learn how to drive (a manual) at around 5-6 years old. By 10 they’re better drivers than 97% of Americans who don’t know a difference between a passing lane and the fast lane. Not to mention they don’t know blinkers exist
yep in my country you wont pass the license test if you cant catch the car up hill with minimal roll so yeah you wont even get a license if you cant do it
I had an Elantra N for a while and it had all these features. I was really happy that you could turn them on and off quickly. If I'm driving alone, I will drive a bit more spirited and I enjoy rev matching myself and don't mind if the car jerks a little more downshifting and such but when I had my wife in the car, she gets carsick easily so having the rev matching on makes it a lot smoother for her. It was real nice to have the option.
@@AGyuhif you aren’t double clutching when downshifting then what’s the point of revving the engine in the first place? It doesn’t do anything mechanically if the clutch pedal is pushed in while you rev the engine
My 11 year old Subaru has hill assist. I don't even think it has a button, it just does it. I never have rev matched a single time daily driving my car. I never blew a clutch, trans, etc. either. Nor do I give my passengers whiplash with downshifting. So, yeah. Cool.
@@starbound03in this short, when the guy points to the "hill hold" button, the button right next to it is the parking brake. Instead of there being a normal handle that you can modulate manually.
The button with a capital P with a circle and brake shoes around it. Even though a parking brake (drum or drum-in-disc) has the shoes _inside_ the circular drum.
My GR Corolla still has a manual hand brake. I work for BMW and hate all of the electric parking brakes. Just more crap to fail, leave you stranded, and cost you lots of money.
everything manufacturers do these days is taking simple processes and complicate them to the max…and than they call it new technology. and not only in the car industry…..everywhere! why? most people are lazy…and weak and always want to go the easy way. so these manufacturers have the best foundation to make huge amounts of money….and rule the world. people are like addicts for things “that make their life easier“ but in most cases it’s the opposite. all of this “new tech” generates problems we hadn’t before and we don’t need. every major company these days: “we polluted and destroyed the planet. we try to save it and -make it green again- and destroy and pollute it even more….or take the pollution to other countries. we are the good people! (shoulder tap)”
All of the "cool features" aside, I am just happy to see a manual transmission, instead of the hideous CVT. Use the CVT for their massive rental car market.
Switches rarely ever break*, handbrake has sensors and cables already, the only thing you need to worry about is the motor lmfao. That's like saying "I don't want to buy this car. It has push to start! That button might break" even though it's been proven for years. I prefer a handbrake too but I'm not gonna let it keep me from buying a car
Honestly, the E-parking break and auto hold are handy for beginners (i have been manual since 2015). If you dont want to use them, that's fine by me, but the "switches break" argument is a bit silly. I have had my 21 corolla since it had 16 miles and not once had an issue with them not working as intended.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about the automatic applying, that basically locks down your vehicle when the battery voltage drops. park brake can't release. If only the electrical engineers understood the mechanical side of their work. One last thing, just because your particular model is okay right now, what about all the other vehicles out there? Here's another great one, can't get vehicles into neutral unless the motor is running, so on crashed vehicles with no coolant or oil that's always fun, that the motor has run to be put in neutral for towing, Brilliant!@@VirtuousWanderer
My mates 2008 135i coupe has hill start assist, and I’m fairly sure rev match was basically standard on f generation BMWs too. Really don’t see how this is anything new or special. And auto hold on electric handbrakes is nothing new either, you can get in a 2013 Volkswagen Golf with it
Subaru had that hold feature years ago, the brake would release just as the clutch was starting to engage when you were on a hill, as I recall when you were sitting on a hill with the clutch pushed in if you pulled up on the parking brake lever and let it back down it'd stay applied and you could take your foot off the brake, then when you were letting the clutch out just as it started engaging the brake would release. I can remember driving a friend's mid 80's Subaru that had that feature, lots of hills where I live and it really came in handy.
Congratulations, thanks for pointing out you are the son of Ken Block himself and you never have had any problems with any kind of transmission in any kind of car in any kind of traffic in any kind of weather
I’m guessing you like to announce that you drink only black coffee and always make a comment about who is a real man at Starbucks when your wife makes you go.
@@iwantchocolate8017no weather or incline, should make driving a manual difficult. It requires a different technique to start, but it's nowhere near difficult. It takes a few days of driving to learn to never slip a wheel, and go easy on the clutch. It's all about learning the clurch6 friction zone, and being able to keep idle at 500-800pms no matter what driving situation you are in. Heel toe, manual Handbrake if it's a very steep hill and you are driving on bald tires, etc.
I can understand those features potentially being useful for a beginner, but I find it difficult to imagine clicking buttons being efficient when one can simply know how to shift, clutch, and rev-match. Impressive engineering, but unnecessarily complex, and with it benefit for an experienced driver.
Auto hold so you don't roll back. My man I'm still in my 20s and even I know. One hand on the wheel, one on the parking brake, release the clutch and e brake at the same time while revving. Grew up in Colorado on steep icy roads. It just works
Unless you're in a pickup and your parking brake is on the floor. Right foot on the brake, clutch foot comes up until the clutch starts to bite, let off brake, give it gas and let clutch out. No hand operated parking brake in my F150.
Unless your car comes with a lame electronic parking brake that requires you to press on the brake pedal to disengage. Automakers taking the fun out of driving
@warviking7647 cheaper yes, more efficient? Not necessarily, new automatic cars from good manufacturers are likely more efficient than manual nowadays. Especially when you use them in eco mode. Not even mentioning extra features they can come with nowadays. And if you really want manual for whatever reason, you can manually shift the gears yourself anyway.
@@warviking7647as much as I am a manual fan boi. All our families cars are manual. A modern automatic is more efficient. They shift more often keeping the car in peak efficiency. Plus in stop start traffic. And slow crawling traffic the auto will get more efficiency.
@@GabrielRMto be precise. its cvt gearbox that made lot impact. low rev at all time. even high rev is still somehow effiecent. low performance but more efficient
@@classicrockonly Interesting. You mentioned 'buttons' & more memories came back to me (from 1993) My then girlfriend had a Subaru w/that feature...a station wagon w/a 5 speed. Helped her learn to a drive a stick.
@@kettle_of_chris ahh I love when memories come like that. Reminds me now of teaching my wife to drive. She came from a different country and didn’t have a car
@@Dreyno Yeah but its really hard to find vehicles with manual versions in the US. I am specifically looking for a small 2 door pickup that is manual. Doesn't exist anymore
@@jamessever8936 Could you import a Toyota Hilux from Mexico? Seems crazy that you can’t buy manual pickups because the vast majority of pickups worldwide are manual.
@@Dreyno importing is an option, but that seems expensive and complicated. As far as I know there are only two trucks that are currently being sold in the US with manual transmissions and both of them have like 4ft beds and may as well be SUV's
I would say ALL manufacturers still make MOSTLY manual cars and only sell the autos to the USA. Almost every other country in the world drives predominantly manual transmissions. Its only the US that think a manual is hard to learn/drive.
Removing the traditional handbrake is one of the stupidest things on modern cars, imo. Increasing cost and complexity while reducing functionality just to get more "stremlined" interior designs that nobody asked for. Pretty much sums up the current automotive industry
What, they removed the handbrake?! So I guess when you park, the auto-hold engages. Is the auto-hold going to stop the car if the master cylinder fails? And how much to fix the auto-hold versus a handbrake cable?
@@LuckyCharms777No, there's a separate electronic "e-brake" that takes the place of the parking brake As to the answers to your questions? Lol probably not but idk If the electricity fails so does the e-brake I've heard Also of course, it's something only the dealer can fix because it's electronic
@@scrambledmandible Man, I’m just going to hold onto my old cars as long as I can. These new cars are nothing but crutches for people that can’t drive. They might as well be riding in an escalator. Also, if the e-brake fails without electricity, what happens when the battery is dead or disconnected?! I hate that you can’t even shift modern cars into neutral with a dead battery, which prevents you from pushing them.
@@alaub1990 Toyota aren’t American They’re from Japan. They’re not “keeping the manual alive”. They’re making cars that the rest of the world buys, not because a few people in the USA give them kudos for it. So nobody gives a shit whether you take your hat off to them or not.
@@Dreyno So why tf are you responding to my comment if "no one cares". Do a fucking google search smart guy. Here in the first world where toyotas are very much a popular car, manual transmissions are being phased out along side combustion engines.
My biggest gripe with my 2019 Honda Civic is that I can't turn off the Hill Assist. I'd rather roll and catch it with the clutch than have it trick me. I've nearly stalled several times because enough gas to disengage Hill Assist isn't always enough gas to move on a hill, so the RPMs drop off like crazy. It's easier to just have it roll a few inches because I know exactly how much gas I need to give it.
Heck sometimes you just want to roll backwards a few inches or feet instead of having to use reverse. I would detest mandatory hill assist / anti-rollback.
I also have it on my MX-5, however it only enables under certain circumstances (when releasing the foot-brake. It doesn't trigger if releasing the handbrake so it won't interfere with a traditional hill start) and it's also is only active for 2 seconds.
@@Coffee.Crisp.correction, you think it's pointless. Funny you day a manual is useless in a car like this Corolla yet you drive a Miata. One of the most basic bitch cars out there.
I love driving a manual. They are a great theft detterant too! I looked at around 100 trucks (forgive me for loving my Ranger too) and only about 10 of them had a manual. I ended up with a supercab sport 4x4 with the 4.0sohc and vinyl floor. Still have it and still love it.
Insane? Maybe worth that as a compliment. Auto rev on downshift sounds smart (saving driver from a double clutch move, where you gas up in neutral with clutch up/engaged, to match revs before depressing clutch again, saving you from excess wear on synchros along with clutch wear when you release/engage). Then again, its another feature to fail someday? And/or another skill that folks won't have to learn? Still, anything that keeps the manual transmission popular and available is an old school plus. Thanks for the info.
Who is double clutching on a fully synchronized transmission? It's not a semi 🚛 that carrying 60,000 lbs that needs to be double clutched. Also, what wear are you going to have on the synchros? You just need to shift slowly into each gear to help speed up the gear to match the speed of the output shaft. The clutch takes most of the force when you don't rev match on a downshift.
@@TA_Plus_Hemi I never power shifted any transmission. It's not worth the 0.1 seconds you gain on a passenger car. All my cars clutches lasted forever. I had to do one replacement because the pressure plate had broken a spring but that was because I let my brother drive it.
@@brarautorepairs I totally agree with you. I don't race but I do pull away from stoplights exuberantly and whatnot sometimes. No reason to even attempt a power shift unless you're on the strip but there are cars that are coming with no lift shift capabilities, like the Camaro, and rev-match downshift. So in the long run I would be willing to bet there are a lot more power shifters than there are double clutchers Edit: I'm probably also talking about 1% or less of all Camaros in the correct year range.
Just learn your bite point for your clutch, you can feel it in your foot, I just tried it one day on a hill and did no roll back, foot on the brake, slowly let out clutch to bite point, foot off clutch keeps it from rolling back, lil gas let off clutch and away you go, but hey maybe its trickier on some cars
Question: is that an option you have to go to the dealer for if you want a Corolla built with one? The Toyota website doesn't allow you to build one with a manual. They all only have the CVT. I'm a truck driver and I'd like to keep consistency with my transmissions. I'm tired of driving an automatic.
I mean pretty much. Older gens can usually. Gets less common the younger the age group becomes. MTs are just not near as common as Autos, and usually the only places MTs are desired are in sport and offroad applications
its not that modern though, the nissan 370z also has that function on the manual. and most cars with an electric ebrake have a hold function as well where it disengages when you drive off
I cant help but laugh at people who drive manuals like this. Even the hyundai Ns and civic type Rs. With their driving assist features like auto rev match most of them are horrible at driving manual. If you need these features, just know its like puting the side bumpers up at the bowling alley.
I don't need it, but my 10 year old Focus ST has everything he mentioned except the auto rev match, which I don't need because I'm an expert at toe/heel revmatch.
I've driven everything from tractors to straight cut gear 4 speeds and 3 on the tree and new mustangs and focus st these things aren't a requirement just nice to have. like ac or heated seats
Made for americans 100%, auto hold is old af, nice to have tho, since every non-ancient manual has a synchro you can just downshift while releasing the clutch slowly, it bites a bit, then just wait a sec or less and it auto revs the car, so the rev match stuff isnt really necessary for non sport cars
@@bldontmatter5319 you know you can disable those features, right? They are useful for beginners and probably makes it a little less annoying to drive in traffic, I really don't see how that's a bad thing. At least it's not a slushbox.
These are the dad features I’d honestly want it I ever bought a new manual. A big part of me wants to have fun slamming through gears, another part just wants the day to be over after driving a semi all day
Yeah and somehow, a lot of people thinks that all people must be like them who are extremely addicted to manuals 😂 I get it, they're fun... But if you only have one car and you can't really choose and you're using it as daily, sometimes you just can't be bothered 😂 If only dual transmissions were cheap 😂
Idk why people think you need to rev match when downshifting with a clutch pedal. I only do it in my car if clutchless down shifting because you need to or in a rig because you need to in alot of them even if using the clutch because of the design. Otherwise in my car i just let yhe clutch out NEVER have an issue and doesnt feel jerky at all.
@@dahorn100011or just keep the right foot on the brake and let go of the clutch slowly and when it bites, take right foot off from brake and start to accelerate. Very easy.
@@eliodecolli You do realize you can stall handbrake if you pull the brake too fast before letting the clutch fully engage right? There is ZERO difference to using handbrake vs brake. It's LITERALLY and I do mean LITERALLY the exact same principle. The same reason handbrake starts work is the same reason brake starts work. The only reason new learners are taught the handbrake method is because brake control is harder on a new learner vs handbrake. If you can heel toe effectively it makes zero difference.

What next for Ben ? Eating with a knife and fork ....without self harming ? Get a grip dude not it's not a dark art like front brake on a moto-sickle whatever one them may be..wonder if a wee hint of GINGER at work as the Dad o cat voice is on point
I'd rather watch something actually insane, like people getting shot. I can appreciate the fervor. It is not that special. This was already like watching a lame horse walk.
Wow and thank you too much for this bro🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's called a hill brake
If you downshift at 70mph from 6th to 3rd my old Toyota Carina would autorev to the redline ❤
Automatic money shift 💀💸
And then it auto parks too
@@Weeblicker yes, into the ditch
Useful feature for project cars intended for drift to start it. :-)
This car will do the same thing. 90mph in 3rd gear is about 6600 RPM and red line is 6800.
Everyone is bashing how it makes it unfun, and too easy?
Like cmon, we're losing people that want to drive stick. Idc what the car can do as long as there's clutch im driving it.
Newer manual transmission cars are a rarity, and this can help give manuals a little boost!
EDIT: There's a fair bit of you that can't understand that manual cars are going extinct. It shifts, it has gears, it's new, it's a manual in my book idc about the damn extras
Yeah. If they want fun, buy a miata. This is for those who like/need manual, but too spooked by it.
Hell yeah!!!
true, but I'm all for automagic
Agree!
Youre right i was a negative nancy but hopefully this shenigans will keep manuals a little longer
Bro just described features 95% of new manuals have as insane
Bro driving manual with those shoes he needs the help lol.
Ive only ever owned manuals since my first car 11 years ago. When I finally got a new job where I had to wear shoes like that I found out what a PITA it was to work the clutch on my MS3 with dress shoes on.
@@daveswietlik6291 i have the same issue with work boots so i change into shoes for driving as soon as i clock out. Makes the drive home so much more comfortable.
Fr. Guess dude hasn’t seen a manual car in the last 5-10 years
U r right
I think they’re insane-- insanely useless. People who actually know how to drive manuals don’t need these features.
Let's give Toyota a moment of respect for offering a manual. Even dodge sold their souls not offering a manual option anymore.
When you have an insane amount of horsepower then a manual doesn’t make sense. Better have those for the lower HP vehicles where one mistake doesn’t blow up the transmission.
@Bobspineable Make that make sense. You think high horsepower cannot be done in a manual? 😄
@@srtmetal7647he isn’t saying it can’t be done but it definitely is way easier to blow your transmission up when you’re at 6000 RPMs and you accidentally miss a gear and down shift instead of up shifting.
@dilloncordial3190 I've heard this argument. Only people that are unaware how a manual works say this. You auto guys are out here thinking us manual guys are just breaking into the wrong gear blowing engines.
As a severely gutted Mazda drift car driver I think the roll back feature deserves to have your man card removed indefinitely. Lol 😂 what losers need that just buy a auto if you suck ass
Autohold is such incredible new tech, my 2006 Subaru came with it as default.
I was just about to comment this, yes Subaru has had "Hill Assist" since I can remember
They ruined cars for everyone else because a VERY TINY FEW PEOPLE can't fucking drive.
Thanks, 'Democracy'
My 2018 Civic had it as well. "Insane" lol
My 03 forester has it as well lol
Well its also "standard" in the Aygo Mk2 from 2014. But somehow heated seats isnt. Toyota is indeed a strange company
Toyota has had a hold function since the 80's. My 1980 Celica has a break that I can pull up with my hand that stops the car rolling backwards. Amazing how advanced it is.
That got a good chuckle from me
Wow my 92 5 speed 4runner didn't have any of these features.
Mine has a pedal that can rev match downshift too, crazy stuff man
that function is exclusive to sedans / coupes my toyota suv / pickup never had that wish i did cause steep hills are scary
My 95 tacoma has a handbrake @@sumguy4130
My dad always taught me that if you learn something, like driving stick, in a car that's a piece of crap, you'll be brilliant at it when you try a new car lol.
Learned to drive in a car where the bite point changes and then spent a few years working st an auction and on dealerships. Can shift anything now
@@towcatthat's awesome
No better practice then practice on something that sux
not wrong at all, lol, i first learned in high school in my friend's Mini, that thing's bite point was so unforgiving that when i transitioned into my brother's GTI for a bit (i had a bigger car that he needed for touring with a band) it was easy as heck. my current Kia Forte is manual and is comfortable, but not quite as nice as that GTI
Newer manuals are so incredibly easy to drive that some of them are literally impossible to stall. Any of the 10th gen Civic manual transmissions, you can literally just drop the clutch with no throttle and it will pick up and start rolling like nothing happened.
As a Brit, the fact these features exist or need to exist, blows my mind. It's not that difficult.
As an American who has been daily driving manuals for years, I agree. My old Civic SI had an indicator light by the tachometer that would flash at suggested upshift points; I eventually just learned to block it out. The car I have now displays what gear you are in on the instrument panel……though I admit that has actually been helpful a couple of times.
Came here to say this...
@@shiftystylin same
@@cmdc778 dammn what car you have now? anyway yea i agree that gear display on the tachometer is nice, especially for manual beginners
@@nikkoshodo It’s a 2021 WRX. You can actually turn the gear indicator off, but it grew on me. I don’t often really need it, but a situation arises here or there when I forget what gear I am in for one reason or another. It is nice not having to take my eyes off the road for a
second to look at the shifter, etc.
"ThIs TrAnSmIsSiOn Is InSaNe"
Those are features that have been in manual transmission for years now.
This guy is a joke. He said granny low in the new bronco is insane but that was literally a feature on the old bronco
It's a cool feature that's been around for a long time. Subaru's in the 80s had it. But I don't think that takes away the fact Toyota still offers a proper manual today.
Drive 15 manuals a day, and never seen these in any modern car.
@@AttackOfTheZ0mbies in other cars its called hill start assist (can be found in 2013 focus being the earliest I know of) and auto rev matching first I've heard of was in the C7 corvettes

If they left cars with a standard hand brake you wouldnt have that awkward roll back when you release the clutch either.
No handbrake 🤯
You know most cars with a standard hand brake have an auto hold right ?
You don't need that either. It's called a friction point.

Wow, I’m between clog and tap😊
That awkard backroll is 100% avoidable even without the feature 😂

Yep, its called an Ebrake.
@@jasonduffy7677 nah just quarter grab the clutch with the foot switch from brake to throttle then hit the throttle about half way down equalizing the speed at with you lift the clutch to the rate at which you press the throttle. do that successfully and you will never roll back.

The fact that Toyota even still manufactures cars with standard transmission makes me happy

So basically just rev matching and handbrake hold, something most Honda civics have been doing for a while now
Right???? Gti has had hill hold for 2 gens now. I think most the sticks do this.
Exactly lmao
I was gunna say..
So they added a handbrake huh?
Hill hold has been an optional feature on some cars since the 50s.
Lame
"Avoids that awkward rollback" feels like an announcement by the professor in Futurama: "Good news everybody! After only a decade of electronics and software research we've fixed the problem we created by removing the break lever!"
Kudos to Toyota for even having a manual!
Barely even a manual anymore.
@@VideoArchiveGuy Better than nothing, def not Honda quality though…
IIRC, they patented "manual" on an electric car. Since it's electric, the use stimulate manual instead.

@@dallasxx Doesn't matter what the car is, if it has a hill holder function, auto rev-matching or stall prevention, it's not a true manual.

@tomr6955 no, they are tools in a vehicle that let you drive it better depending on your style of driving.
it’s always best to learn how to drive in old slow 4 or 5 speed manual cars like I did
shifting a manual is not that difficult that you'd need throttle assist but I appreciate Toyota for keeping them alive
They just killed off the manual in the non GR hatchbacks :(
I'm guessing it makes things easier on track
I had to learn how to control rollback and downshift on my own. I’m pretty happy I learned it in the long run
I've had my first manual now for 8 months and have learned both rev match and roll control. Most fun car I've had so far.
In Australia, you legally need to be able to do that to be able to drive a manual, they require you to disable all driver assistance technology for the exam
Yeah, me too, I remember being so nervous the first time and that you do it automatically
I have an old jeep wrangler with a 5 speed and no assists. It will be the vehicle my daughter learns manual on. If you can drive with no assists you can drive anything.
That hold is pretty nice though, gotta say 😅
1. Pretty much every modern manual (including mine) has auto-hold.
2. To me, auto-rev matching takes the skill and fun out of driving a manual, which is kind of the whole point. Getting that perfect rev match is so rewarding when you've earned it yourself.
Agreed. On your point two, after getting proficient at rev matching on a synchronized transmission, the next level of skill would be driving a 10/ 13/ 18 speed unsynchronized transmission. One does not need to double clutch if one can do perfect rev matching, but if one makes a mistake it might get very awkward and very expensive quite rapidly.
Yup. And If u rev match correctly in a regular car you don't even have to use the clutch at all.
@@angelito4058 I have not driven a huge number of different transmissions despite every vehicle I have purchased for myself being a manual, but I have found that heavier duty synchronized transmissions do not like the driver attempting to shift without clutching. In a light, small, sporty 2-door with a 5-speed, no problem. SUV with a 6-speed manual, it will tolerate with some protest. Trying it in a 1-ton diesel pickup truck with a 6-speed manual, not good. Step up to a truck tractor (Freightliner/ Peterbilt/ etc.) with an unsynchronized transmission and the most proficient drivers only need the clutch to start from a dead stop.
It’s the equivalent of a participation trophy but for driving
I believe ypu can turn it off in some newer mt cars tho right? If u can, just save it for the track. Personally, I don't want to muck about with that in traffic
Manual is more fuel efficient than any automatics.The gearbox is much more reliable and it will let your car accelerate faster. Hopefully more people will drive manual.
Literally each of these points has not been true for at the minimum 7 years now. Modern automatics pound-for-pound have met manuals in fuel efficiency and, depending on the _kind_ of automatic transmission, will blaze past _most_ manual cars, also noting that "most" are probably 15-20 years old comparatively.
Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't trade in my manual until its engine blows itself to pieces, at which point I'll go straight to EV. The most sensitive automatic doesn't even get close to the intimate feel that manuals have in terms of your control. You have to kick an automatic in the ass for it to respond how you want with _everything_ you do. Stomp on gas to force it to switch gears, stomp on brake to force it to a complete stop because the engine is always in first and always fighting you. Last time I drove an automatic I found it extremely annoying.
@@Providence83 Yes, you are right. I did some checking, there is around a 10% improvement for automatics over manuals for new cars. There are now more gears and the computer can shift at the optimal points. Thanks for pointing out my mistake
Subaru had the hillholder clutch back in the 80s 😂
Yeah, they did, I think they had it in the later 70's too
If you need the hillholder you shouldn’t be driving a manual…just sayin😮
@Sergio Zelaya Scott say that after driving on the streets of San Francisco or up in mountain communities with 8° grades at intersections. I've driven in both and that suby clutch saves your clutch and foot.
Yes! I was thinking this too. Funny how he considers catching up “new features” 😂
Came here to say this! I had an 88 DL wagon and thought it was amazing for the time. It also had the e-brake on the front wheels and the spare tire in the engine bay. My mind was blown lol
Subaru had a "hill holder" clutch thirty years ago.
Yup. It went away when they went to hydraulic clutches, but it's back on the newer ones with stability control. Best part about the electronic version, it works when backing up a hill in reverse.
I have a hill holder. It's called a parking brake.

As long as you have the ability to turn all of that off, I’m all for it.
The only thing it does alone is the rev matching, and to be honest it's a pretty good feature. It still gives you all the control over the gears and clutch, it just makes downshifting easier
@@EMB1199 some things some people like, some things some people dont like, me personally I hate all the new gadgets in vehicles, i think it makes people lazy. My Acura MDX has all kinda of bells and whistles, i turn them all off as soon as i start it.. my buddy has the same vehicle and he loves all the gadgets 🤷🏿♂️
@@EMB1199 if you can’t turn off the auto rev match feature, it would be a real shame. The rev match downshifts, especially the heel & toe downshifts are the best part of driving a manual. If auto rev match is always on, it’ll be hard to practice your downshifts properly.
@@dankmemer2774 I don't really like to heel e toe, I do it because it's needed, but I enjoy the manual because it gives me more control over the car, with clutch fiddling and gear choice, so if it's just the heel e toe that is automated it's a win for me, plus I bet the gear chance would be smoother and faster
@@EMB1199 it’s never about speed when you opt for a manual car especially with them automatic these days shifting so fast. for me, when I nail a perfect heel toe, it’s orgasmic. The satisfaction is unparalleled. I’m trying both “big toe little toe” and actual “heel and toe” methods. I find that if you are applying low to moderate braking pressure, big toe little toe is enough. But if I am applying high brake pressure, actual heel toe is better. Between having an auto rev match that can be toggled on and off vs no auto rev match, having it is better. But between permanent auto rev match and no auto rev match, I would rather bot have it.
No heel toe, no rev match, might as well get an automatic.
Might as well let the car do the shifting for you at that point
I have this exact transmission. I don't think I have ever unironically used the imt button other than off the lot to try it out. The auto break hold is pretty neat, tho, but not a feature I use too often.
@@VirtuousWanderer meh, part of the joy of driving manual is learning how to manipulate 3 pedals simultaneously
Manuals in base Corollas aren't about fun or control, they're about budget and saving money. I'm glad it has auto rev and hold.

It was called "Hill holder" on the 1950's Studebaker.
That was just a parking brake bro
@@deanugbuFX.........No, it wasn't.
I immediately disengaged the hill hold in my 2011 STI. It would grab when I wasn't expecting it and annoyed the hell out of me. I've been driving manual for 27 out of my 41 years on this earth and have quick feet so I only roll back a few inches at most.
You can also apply the handbrake, if it's really steep and you have a bumper rider, and let the clutch out to the bite point, then release the handbrake. Easy way not to roll back.
VW Golf - it doesn't always seem to release in reverse, so my wife uses it but I don't
You can also just get the clutch to slightly engage before letting go of the brake and quickly switch to the gas with your right foot.
This way you won't roll back at all on most (not so steep) hills.
It's a pain time wise but if they are too close to you it is their fault - my standard instruction to my children as they learned to drive a manual.
This is how you prematurely wear out your clutch.
My car is from 1972 has a hold button as well, its called a handbrake, i pull it up, then when I want to set off I just bring the clutch to biting point then push the little button on the handbrake and move it down, best part is too its all mechanical, so I dont have to pay an auto electrician stupid amounts of money to fix it
Manually rev matching is the best part of driving a manual car.
this
Agreed. Rented the new Civic Type R for a trip and had to disable the auto rev matching because it took all the fun out of it
ONLY if the dumb brand doesn't put the gas so low that you can't reach it. I can't do it with my car because the brake pedal is so high up that I can't "heel" or blip the gas.
@@largol33t1yeah, but you can still rematch while not braking
Same goes for motorcycles
No way! I cant believe a new toyota has a feature that has been around in manual cars for years. Absolutely insane and revolutionary. Please tell us more.
yeah, features like these had been in economy cars for decade or more...
Toyota had these features for a few years now, maybe it’s something new in the region or the model idk. Having a button for the auto hold is overkill though, my Hilux doesn’t have a button for it it’s just on
My dad left me on that hill until I had the courage to do it by myself I’ll always remember that

That's what a good dad does, make you learn how to drive. I'll bet he also taught you accountability as well.
I dont drive manual, but i ride sportbikes. I dont understand the need for heel-toeing. If you down shift, the engine naturally slows the car, so unless you're going way too fast up to a red light, theres no need. Just down shift and revmatch with your whole foot.
engine braking is much stronger in bikes, and sometimes you want to downshift smoothly while going down a hill etc
Man wasn't living in a cave, he was residing in the Mariana trench
Underrated Lmao
Subaru had the auto hold feature back in the '70s. They called it "Hill Holder"
Facts
Studebaker also had it about 30 years before Subaru fun fact
Toyota probably asked them for that feature when they bought their 20% stake.
Came here to say this it was mechanical back then and in the mid 2000s they chenged it to semi mechanical the clutch also has a delayed behavior on hills in the mid 2000s ones for hills using a ball bearing in the fluid.

Hill start assist seems like exactly the same as "auto hold". The first feature explained in the video. And preventing your car from rolling back on a hill does not require clutch control. If you are using your clutch to prevent your car from rolling down a hill you are slipping the clutch when you don't have to. You should either hold the brake until the clutch disc engages with the flywheel, then press the gas. Or use the handbrake.
@@lumbardo1041 Ever heard of first add some gas under handbrake and lift?

Anyone who needs an "autohold" button to stop their car rolling whilst they release the clutch should hand in their licence.
In The Netherlands you can fail your driver's license test if you do.
yep in my country you wont pass the license test if you cant catch the car up hill with minimal roll
so yeah you wont even get a license if you cant do it
based
Agree, but also my Mazda prevents rollback by using the brake without you having to push any button to do so, so that's not some big invention.
I guess, but most fun modern cars coming in a manual, have this sort of feature. Shit, even my MK6 GTI had it…
These are cool toys, but the feature I appreciate most is you can turn both the hill holder and rev-match off.
I had an Elantra N for a while and it had all these features. I was really happy that you could turn them on and off quickly. If I'm driving alone, I will drive a bit more spirited and I enjoy rev matching myself and don't mind if the car jerks a little more downshifting and such but when I had my wife in the car, she gets carsick easily so having the rev matching on makes it a lot smoother for her. It was real nice to have the option.
Hill holder in a subaru was annoying, i'd take off and suck the back of the car down waiting on it to release
@@AGyuhif you aren’t double clutching when downshifting then what’s the point of revving the engine in the first place? It doesn’t do anything mechanically if the clutch pedal is pushed in while you rev the engine
My 11 year old Subaru has hill assist. I don't even think it has a button, it just does it.
I never have rev matched a single time daily driving my car. I never blew a clutch, trans, etc. either. Nor do I give my passengers whiplash with downshifting.

Dear Toyota, I still prefer the pull up handbrake beside your seat with thumb release.
Wait what do they do for handbrakes now?
@@starbound03switch control…power
@@starbound03in this short, when the guy points to the "hill hold" button, the button right next to it is the parking brake.
Instead of there being a normal handle that you can modulate manually.
The button with a capital P with a circle and brake shoes around it.
Even though a parking brake (drum or drum-in-disc) has the shoes _inside_ the circular drum.
My GR Corolla still has a manual hand brake. I work for BMW and hate all of the electric parking brakes. Just more crap to fail, leave you stranded, and cost you lots of money.
It’s a travesty seeing all these manufacturers losing the manual parking brake lever to add the gross electric ones. 😢
And they are expensive to fix too my uncle had a new Silverado and it went out and it was not cheap at all
everything manufacturers do these days is taking simple processes and complicate them to the max…and than they call it new technology.
and not only in the car industry…..everywhere!
why? most people are lazy…and weak and always want to go the easy way. so these manufacturers have the best foundation to make huge amounts of money….and rule the world.
people are like addicts for things “that make their life easier“ but in most cases it’s the opposite. all of this “new tech” generates problems we hadn’t before and we don’t need.
every major company these days: “we polluted and destroyed the planet. we try to save it and -make it green again- and destroy and pollute it even more….or take the pollution to other countries. we are the good people! (shoulder tap)”

Yeah glad the Tacoma still has a traditional Parking Brake and not that electric abomination.
@@pizzamangametime9773 Silverado is a piece of junk tho
All of the "cool features" aside, I am just happy to see a manual transmission, instead of the hideous CVT. Use the CVT for their massive rental car market.
So instead of just pulling the hand brake, you got a bunch of other parts to break, E.g. switch, motor, cables sensors what a great idea!
My thoughts exactly
Switches rarely ever break*, handbrake has sensors and cables already, the only thing you need to worry about is the motor lmfao.
That's like saying "I don't want to buy this car. It has push to start! That button might break" even though it's been proven for years.
I prefer a handbrake too but I'm not gonna let it keep me from buying a car
Honestly, the E-parking break and auto hold are handy for beginners (i have been manual since 2015). If you dont want to use them, that's fine by me, but the "switches break" argument is a bit silly. I have had my 21 corolla since it had 16 miles and not once had an issue with them not working as intended.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about the automatic applying, that basically locks down your vehicle when the battery voltage drops. park brake can't release. If only the electrical engineers understood the mechanical side of their work.
One last thing, just because your particular model is okay right now, what about all the other vehicles out there?
Here's another great one, can't get vehicles into neutral unless the motor is running, so on crashed vehicles with no coolant or oil that's always fun, that the motor has run to be put in neutral for towing, Brilliant!@@VirtuousWanderer
Lol no sensors, the motors pull more power when they contact the rotor and then the system knows its good
Not that driving a manual is especially hard, but my 2015 Mini JCW does both of these things
My mates 2008 135i coupe has hill start assist, and I’m fairly sure rev match was basically standard on f generation BMWs too. Really don’t see how this is anything new or special. And auto hold on electric handbrakes is nothing new either, you can get in a 2013 Volkswagen Golf with it
Yeah, but where I live, a Mini JCW costs $95,560.
So if this IMT tech can go into an average Corolla Altis that costs $26,000 here, it'll fare better.
Subaru had that hold feature years ago, the brake would release just as the clutch was starting to engage when you were on a hill, as I recall when you were sitting on a hill with the clutch pushed in if you pulled up on the parking brake lever and let it back down it'd stay applied and you could take your foot off the brake, then when you were letting the clutch out just as it started engaging the brake would release.
I can remember driving a friend's mid 80's Subaru that had that feature, lots of hills where I live and it really came in handy.

Congratulations, thanks for pointing out you are the son of Ken Block himself and you never have had any problems with any kind of transmission in any kind of car in any kind of traffic in any kind of weather

@@iwantchocolate8017no weather or incline, should make driving a manual difficult. It requires a different technique to start, but it's nowhere near difficult. It takes a few days of driving to learn to never slip a wheel, and go easy on the clutch. It's all about learning the clurch6 friction zone, and being able to keep idle at 500-800pms no matter what driving situation you are in. Heel toe, manual Handbrake if it's a very steep hill and you are driving on bald tires, etc.
@@gurpreetsoomal5408 riding a motorbike is alot easier I reckon, swear I can't feel the engine when I've driven a few times
I can understand those features potentially being useful for a beginner, but I find it difficult to imagine clicking buttons being efficient when one can simply know how to shift, clutch, and rev-match. Impressive engineering, but unnecessarily complex, and with it benefit for an experienced driver.
Auto hold so you don't roll back. My man I'm still in my 20s and even I know. One hand on the wheel, one on the parking brake, release the clutch and e brake at the same time while revving. Grew up in Colorado on steep icy roads. It just works
Unless you're in a pickup and your parking brake is on the floor. Right foot on the brake, clutch foot comes up until the clutch starts to bite, let off brake, give it gas and let clutch out. No hand operated parking brake in my F150.
Unless your car comes with a lame electronic parking brake that requires you to press on the brake pedal to disengage. Automakers taking the fun out of driving
@@TakeNoShift I guess that comes down to test driving a car before you buy it.
@@falsefreedom1713What?
Or you know just send it and take the 6” rollback like a man
Having a new manual is insane by itself
Yeah I'm not going to complain about the hand holding features if they keep making manuals. At least they are optional.
Corolla is an affordabke reliabilitet car. Manuals are more reliabilite then automatic, more fuel efficient and cheaper
@warviking7647 cheaper yes, more efficient? Not necessarily, new automatic cars from good manufacturers are likely more efficient than manual nowadays. Especially when you use them in eco mode. Not even mentioning extra features they can come with nowadays.
And if you really want manual for whatever reason, you can manually shift the gears yourself anyway.
@@warviking7647as much as I am a manual fan boi. All our families cars are manual. A modern automatic is more efficient. They shift more often keeping the car in peak efficiency.
Plus in stop start traffic. And slow crawling traffic the auto will get more efficiency.
@@GabrielRMto be precise. its cvt gearbox that made lot impact. low rev at all time. even high rev is still somehow effiecent. low performance but more efficient
I thought Subaru had a feature called a hill holder way back in the late 80's/90's

I'm just happy some manufacturers are still making manuals
Why wouldn’t they make them? They sell millions every year.
@@Dreyno Yeah but its really hard to find vehicles with manual versions in the US. I am specifically looking for a small 2 door pickup that is manual. Doesn't exist anymore
@@jamessever8936 Could you import a Toyota Hilux from Mexico? Seems crazy that you can’t buy manual pickups because the vast majority of pickups worldwide are manual.
@@Dreyno importing is an option, but that seems expensive and complicated. As far as I know there are only two trucks that are currently being sold in the US with manual transmissions and both of them have like 4ft beds and may as well be SUV's
I would say ALL manufacturers still make MOSTLY manual cars and only sell the autos to the USA. Almost every other country in the world drives predominantly manual transmissions. Its only the US that think a manual is hard to learn/drive.
They had to add the auto hold feature because they removed the hand brake, which is how you normally do that "easily"
Removing the traditional handbrake is one of the stupidest things on modern cars, imo. Increasing cost and complexity while reducing functionality just to get more "stremlined" interior designs that nobody asked for. Pretty much sums up the current automotive industry
What, they removed the handbrake?! So I guess when you park, the auto-hold engages. Is the auto-hold going to stop the car if the master cylinder fails? And how much to fix the auto-hold versus a handbrake cable?
@@LuckyCharms777No, there's a separate electronic "e-brake" that takes the place of the parking brake
As to the answers to your questions? Lol probably not but idk
If the electricity fails so does the e-brake I've heard
Also of course, it's something only the dealer can fix because it's electronic
@@scrambledmandible
Man, I’m just going to hold onto my old cars as long as I can. These new cars are nothing but crutches for people that can’t drive. They might as well be riding in an escalator.
Also, if the e-brake fails without electricity, what happens when the battery is dead or disconnected?! I hate that you can’t even shift modern cars into neutral with a dead battery, which prevents you from pushing them.
the rollback isn't awkward, it's character.
The newer cars like mine which is a manual actually gives you a couple seconds before rolling back. Somehow the car knows when I’m on a hill.
Meanwhile in Europe, we figure out clutch control on our first driving lesson....
Make the manual transmission great again!
Hats off to toyota for keeping the manual alive.
80% of all cars sold in Europe are manual. They’re not a rarity.
@@Dreyno Ok i live in the US. Dont give a shit about europe. So my comment is referring to where i live.
@@alaub1990 Toyota aren’t American They’re from Japan. They’re not “keeping the manual alive”. They’re making cars that the rest of the world buys, not because a few people in the USA give them kudos for it.
So nobody gives a shit whether you take your hat off to them or not.
@@Dreyno So why tf are you responding to my comment if "no one cares". Do a fucking google search smart guy. Here in the first world where toyotas are very much a popular car, manual transmissions are being phased out along side combustion engines.
My biggest gripe with my 2019 Honda Civic is that I can't turn off the Hill Assist. I'd rather roll and catch it with the clutch than have it trick me. I've nearly stalled several times because enough gas to disengage Hill Assist isn't always enough gas to move on a hill, so the RPMs drop off like crazy. It's easier to just have it roll a few inches because I know exactly how much gas I need to give it.
There has to be a way. Might involve a reflash.
Heck sometimes you just want to roll backwards a few inches or feet instead of having to use reverse. I would detest mandatory hill assist / anti-rollback.
i would def try searching youtube. for the gr86 and brz community you have to do some obscure button hold to get hill assist off
Mine turns off. Literally by pressing the button by the e brake.
I also have it on my MX-5, however it only enables under certain circumstances (when releasing the foot-brake. It doesn't trigger if releasing the handbrake so it won't interfere with a traditional hill start) and it's also is only active for 2 seconds.
Hold feature: in german manusls for over 10 years
Rev matching: optional in nissans for over 10 years

Ranger nation.
Auto hold sounds like an easy way to build a bad habit that'll show when driving a different manual
The roll back is the best part!
Insane? Maybe worth that as a compliment. Auto rev on downshift sounds smart (saving driver from a double clutch move, where you gas up in neutral with clutch up/engaged, to match revs before depressing clutch again, saving you from excess wear on synchros along with clutch wear when you release/engage). Then again, its another feature to fail someday? And/or another skill that folks won't have to learn? Still, anything that keeps the manual transmission popular and available is an old school plus. Thanks for the info.
I mean, a few other manufacturers use rev matching. Honda and Ford, I know, do. But I am sure there are more.
Who is double clutching on a fully synchronized transmission? It's not a semi 🚛 that carrying 60,000 lbs that needs to be double clutched. Also, what wear are you going to have on the synchros? You just need to shift slowly into each gear to help speed up the gear to match the speed of the output shaft. The clutch takes most of the force when you don't rev match on a downshift.
@@brarautorepairs far more power shifters then double clutchers
@@TA_Plus_Hemi I never power shifted any transmission. It's not worth the 0.1 seconds you gain on a passenger car. All my cars clutches lasted forever. I had to do one replacement because the pressure plate had broken a spring but that was because I let my brother drive it.
@@brarautorepairs I totally agree with you. I don't race but I do pull away from stoplights exuberantly and whatnot sometimes. No reason to even attempt a power shift unless you're on the strip but there are cars that are coming with no lift shift capabilities, like the Camaro, and rev-match downshift. So in the long run I would be willing to bet there are a lot more power shifters than there are double clutchers
Edit: I'm probably also talking about 1% or less of all Camaros in the correct year range.
A simple hill hold was available on some horse carriages. In 1936 Studebaker had a hill hold feature. It returned in 1980 with Subaru.
Just learn your bite point for your clutch, you can feel it in your foot, I just tried it one day on a hill and did no roll back, foot on the brake, slowly let out clutch to bite point, foot off clutch keeps it from rolling back, lil gas let off clutch and away you go, but hey maybe its trickier on some cars
Question: is that an option you have to go to the dealer for if you want a Corolla built with one? The Toyota website doesn't allow you to build one with a manual. They all only have the CVT. I'm a truck driver and I'd like to keep consistency with my transmissions. I'm tired of driving an automatic.

These things only Americans need.
Oh you know it!. Can't live without a manual personally.
I cant help but laugh at people who drive manuals like this. Even the hyundai Ns and civic type Rs. With their driving assist features like auto rev match most of them are horrible at driving manual. If you need these features, just know its like puting the side bumpers up at the bowling alley.
Alot of americans use to only drive manuals theres not many left today and many are not willing to learn
I don't need it, but my 10 year old Focus ST has everything he mentioned except the auto rev match, which I don't need because I'm an expert at toe/heel revmatch.
I've driven everything from tractors to straight cut gear 4 speeds and 3 on the tree and new mustangs and focus st these things aren't a requirement just nice to have. like ac or heated seats
Made for americans 100%, auto hold is old af, nice to have tho, since every non-ancient manual has a synchro you can just downshift while releasing the clutch slowly, it bites a bit, then just wait a sec or less and it auto revs the car, so the rev match stuff isnt really necessary for non sport cars
