Teenagers learning to drive today primarily use vehicles with automatic transmissions as over 97% of Carmax’s vehicles sold in 2020 were automatic. While less than 15% of modern cars even offer manual transmission options, there are those who still appreciate the experience. Shifting between gears manually gives the driver a greater sense of control, allowing them to adapt their driving style to road conditions and desired speed. (These are the fastest cars you can buy today.)
Although less than 15% of modern cars offer manual transmission options, over two dozen recent-model vehicles are still available with standard transmission. Using data from the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy, 24/7 Wall St. identified the manual cars and trucks you can still buy. The 35 vehicles on this list are ordered alphabetically by make and model. Base price estimates for the models are as reported by Car and Driver. All other supplemental data is from the EPA and DOE. (These are the most outrageous car collections in the world.)
Why Are We Writing About Cars with Manual Transmissions?
When buying a car, consumers are forced to make a choice: automatic or manual? Though automatic transmissions are more convenient, according to Edmunds, manual transmission cars also have their benefits. They are often less expensive than those with automatic transmissions, come with cheaper repairs, and maintain a higher resale value (on sports models). Beyond that, manual transmission enthusiasts prefer control over the gears and enjoy the engagement involved in shifting. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference. If you’re considering buying a car with a manual transmission, it’s best to do thorough research before purchasing.
