    It is very difficult to find manual transmission in a passenger car in the US now. I would like one but good luck finding what you want used. Even new, very few models have a manual option. And I think it costs more for a manual transmission now. It used to be cheaper.

      The cheapest car I know of off the lot is a base model versa which comes with a manual that’s decent.

      The noob trap is “upgrading” it to get the automatic. It’s maybe the worst new cvt you can buy.

        Nissan Versa?

        Does the base MSRP of $15,980 have the manual transmission?

        Imma have to test drive that, I think.

          Yeah the lowest trim level has a manual (or can be had with a manual). Call ahead to the dealership to make sure they have it in.

      I could barely find any sticks when I was car shopping, and they were all base models. I finally found a dealer with a manual Impreza but it was actually more expensive than the automatic next to it with a sunroof and heated seats
