Every New Car You Can Buy With a Manual Transmission
New cars equipped with a manual transmission are becoming a rare commodity.
Even though nearly every automaker has abandonned this transmission to some degree, there are still attractive models out there designed for drivers looking for a manual. After all, manual gearboxes are still popular among folks who appreciate drivign dynamics, but also to those who are looking for a bargain.
In this photo gallery, we will show you every single new vehicle that you can still get with a manual transmission.
Aston Martin Vantage
For 2021, the Aston Martin Vantage comes with a manual transmission as standard equipment. Now this is a compelling option... only if you can afford it!
BMW M2
The M2 remains an interesting choice if you absolutely cannot stand the new look of the M4!
BMW M3
Mercedes and Audi have completly removed the manual transmission from their sport sedan lineups. We hope that BMW continues to offer it within the 3 Series lineup.
BMW M4
With its new controversial style, the M4 is the only model among the 4 Series lineup to be equipped with a manual transmission.
Chevrolet Camaro
With a car like the Camaro, power, and driving fun are present thanks in part to the availability of a manual transmission!
Chevrolet Spark
With its base price hovering over the $10,000 mark, the Chevrolet Spark is one of the cheapest vehicles you can buy today. A manual transmission is offered on the base LS trim, as well as the mid-grade LT variant.
Dodge Charger
The Charger has recently curbed the manual. Thankfully, the Challenger is keeping it (for now)!
Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing & CT5-V Blackwing
Surprise! These two new high-performance models from Cadillac will be launching as 2022 models. The pair will be arriving at dealers later this year.
Ford Bronco
Good news! The all-new Ford Bronco will be offered with a 7 speed manual transmission! This unique gearbox offers a gear ratio specifically made for off-road driving (Crawl Mode). This will make the Bronco extremely capable when driven off the beaten path.
Ford Mustang
Of course, the Mustang comes with a manual! Will this be enough to satisfy those who are still angry about the introduction of the 4-door Mustang Mach-E EV?
Genesis G70
This one may surprise you! The Genesis G70 is available with a six-speed manual transmission. Sadly, this gearbox is only offered with the base turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and not the lovely twin-turbo V6.
Honda Civic
The Honda Civic continues to offer a manual transmission option across the range, including the Si and Type R. As we anticipate the arrival of the all-new 2022 Civic, it will be interesting to see where Honda integrates the transmission within the lineup.
Hyundai Elantra
All new for 2021, the Hyundai Elantra continues to offer a manual transmission on the base Essential trim. The high-performance model, the Elantra N, which will be revealed soon, should also be available with a manual.
Hyundai Venue
Hyundai's new small crossover replaces the Accent, an it's available with a manual transmission in the Essential trim. Every other variant is equipped with Hyundai's IVT transmission.
Hyundai Veloster N
Hyundai's small, but mighty rocket continues to be available with a lovely six-speed manual. A new dual-clutch automatic was added to the lineup for the 2021 model.
Jeep Gladiator
The Gladiator is one of very few trucks that keep the manual transmission dream alive.
Jeep Wrangler
The ultimate off-road icon continues to offer a manual transmission.
Kia Forte
The Forte LX has a more conservative design compared to its Elantra sibling. The sporty GT trim is also available with a manual.
Kia Rio
This sub-compact got rid of its sedan configuration for 2021, but the manual transmission option remains!
Lotus Evora GT
While the Evora is incredibly rare, it continues to offer a manual transmission!
Mazda3
The Mazda3 is a charming compact that continues to please us with its stunning design and driving dynamics. A manual transmission is still offered with most trims, though it isn't available with the new turbocharged engine.
Mazda CX-3
Despite being replaced by the newly released CX-30, the small CX-3 remains. A manual transmission is available on the base model.
Mazda MX-5
The Mazda MX-5 wouldn't be the same without a manual transmission. What a joy to drive!
Mini 3-door/5-door/Cabriolet
Looking for a vehicle that is unique, stylish, fun to drive and available with a manual gearbox? The Mini lineup may be right for you!

The Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the few survibors in the sub-compact car class in Canada. Newly refreshed for 2021, the ES model is available with a manual gearbox.
Nissan Qashqai
Who would have thought? The Qashqai's base model is available with a manual! But finding one could be tricky.
Nissan Sentra
Just like its smaller Versa sibling, the Sentra offers a generous list of standard equipment in its base model. The SR trim offers sporty styling, even more equipment... and a manual!
Nissan Versa
With a starting price of $16,498, the Versa offers a lot of standard driving aids. It is available with a manual transmission, as well as an optional CVT.
Porsche 718
The Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman are some of the most fun-to-drive cars money can buy. A six-speed manual is available with both!
Porsche 911
The mythical Porsche 911 continues to be true to its roots, offering a manual across the lineup. Now that's something we can get behind!
Subaru BRZ
The Subaru BRZ is the only vehicle in Subaru's lineup that isn't available in AWD. This sports coupe is so much more fun to drive when it's equipped with the manual gearbox!
Subaru Crosstrek
The Crosstrek is one of The Car Guide's best buys, and it is available with a manual transmission on both Convenience and Touring trims.
Subaru Impreza
Are you looking for an affordable, manual and AWD car? The Subaru Impreza checks all the boxes!
Subaru WRX / STI
The Subaru WRX would not be the same without a manual. While this model is becoming long in the tooth, it continues to offer a sensational driving experience.
Being the Subaru BRZ's non-identical twin, the Toyota 86 is obviously available with a manual gearbox!
Toyota Corolla
The Toyota Corolla continues to be available with a manual, in both sedan, and hatchback variants.
Toyota Tacoma
Ever since the departure of the previous Nissan Frontier, the Tacoma is one of two midsized pickup trucks available with a stick, alongside the Jeep Gladiator.
Volkswagen Golf
2021 is the last year of the mainstream Volkswagen Golf as we know it. That being said, the all-new 2022 GTI and Golf R are returning. And both come equipped with a manual transmission.
Volkswagen Jetta
The Volkswagen Jetta has changed and evolved in many ways over the years. Yet, it's still available with a manual! We appreciate its solid build quality, and the low-end torque provided by the turbocharged engine. We especially appreciate the GLI!
