What are you doing here? There’s an updated list for 2016!
The manual transmission may be in its golden years, but there are still options for those who revel in rowing their own gears. Everything from low-buck economy cars, to midsize sedans, to high-end sports cars can be had with a stick shift. However, not all trim levels of all models are available.
Of all the styles of cars available, the all-wheel-drive SUV is the hardest to find with a manual transmission. Only Jeep’s Patriot, Compass, Wrangler and Nissan’s XTerra can be ordered with a stick (EDIT: Subaru’s Forester SUV can also be had with AWD and a manual). Jeep’s new Renegade will have a few models as well, but they weren’t available for sale at the time of writing.
Porsche’s 911 and Chevrolet’s Corvette are the only cars on the list with seven forward gears.
Below is a list of all cars available in the United States with a manual transmission in 2015. This list only covers cars, SUVs and crossovers; for pickups, visit TFLtruck. So for those looking for a car with a manual transmission, here is where you start.
