Link: Every car available with a manual transmission
Spoiler alert: the list is shorter than it used to be - for those of us who prefer driving a car as opposed to just steering it.
...the manual transmission is on the way out. People like automatics for the convenience; they can be faster than manually shifting, and they’re frequently better at saving fuel. But the manual still has advantages. It’s small and light, it’s still sometimes more affordable than an equivalent automatic model, and, of course, it’s much more engaging than an automatic. For these reasons, automakers are still selling a variety of models with manuals...
Using a manual transmission automatically - pun intended - requires the driver to be more engaged with the vehicle. By listening & 'feeling' to know when to shift, you're inherently paying more attention to the performance of the drive train & suspension. Plus it's more fun.
But that's just me. Your mileage may vary.
