I think Audi has one or two.

Maybe a Mazda too?


+1 It is really hard to find a manual transmission these days, unless you special order from the factory or want a sports car, like a Mustang. I know that there are about 40 models that hypothetically come with stick shift, but many of these are not really available. For example, you can hypothetically buy a manual base Jeep Wrangler for about $29K, but the reality is that even before the current chip shortage, you could not find this vehicle.

+1 Two of our three cars are manuals. There are very few models but you can actually get a good deal - even now - on a used car with a manual since so few people want one.


I don’t know about now but before pandemic manual cars were plentiful, new and used. I was looking for one in late 2019 and never had an issue with a dealership not having a manual version of Miata, Jeep, corvette, Camaro, Porsche, 86, bmw, to mention a few I test drove. Also, I don’t think used manual cars are any cheaper than automatic. Few people want them but also few people have them for sale


PP here we bought a used Mustang convertible a few years back and only around six of the roughly 250 available on cars.com and autotrader.com were manual.


I guess not mustangs then. I never drove one but I thought they were pretty popular with the manual transmission

The new Acura Integra will be released soon with a manual version.


Op here. Thanks all. The Integra is exactly what sparked my thought. Last drove a manual Integra in the 90s, so feeling nostalgic.

Nothing, just the nostalgia feeling, that's all.
