Re: 2010 Manual Stick Shift Cars (manual transmissions) list
Agreed. They are automatics with sensors telling the tranny to shift.jstark47 wrote:Salespeople have tried to convince me that paddle shifters are "manual transmissions".

Re: 2010 Manual Stick Shift Cars (manual transmissions) list
I hate the automatics where you tell it when to shift. I'd rather just have an automatic. If you can't drive a stick, don't pretend.

Re: 2010 Manual Stick Shift Cars (manual transmissions) list
I agree. On my 01 Dodge Dakota I have one of the rarest combinations of motor/engine made.
10% of the trucks that came out of the factory that year were manual.
Most of those were 6 cylinders.
Most of the rest were Sport interior packages.
I have an SLT (power locks/windows, nicer audio, sliding rear glass, etc) with a V8 driving the wheels through an NV3500 5 speed manual transmission.

Re: 2010 Manual Stick Shift Cars (manual transmissions) list
I have to admit, I ticked off the automatic box. I'm not really interested in cars as performance vehicles (that's what the bike's for). I just use my car for transportation, so the sense of involvement and control with a manual tranny isn't as important to me.

Re: 2010 Manual Stick Shift Cars (manual transmissions) list
You know, I searched out for renting a manual transmission car for my stay in California to no avail. I, for some reason, hate driving automatic. Even if I'm tired, the manual drive keeps me engaged.

Re: 2010 Manual Stick Shift Cars (manual transmissions) list
My very first vehicle was a manual ('78 Ford Courier pickup). There were several automatics along the way, but our last three cars have been manuals. Like JC Viper said, I like to be engaged with my vehicle. And I can't ride the motorcycle in the snow, so my Outback keeps me happiest in the winter. Driftin', baby!!!

Re: 2010 Manual Stick Shift Cars (manual transmissions) list
My brother and I share a Mazda 3 and it has Tiptronic-like semi-auto transmission. It's great if stuck in backed up traffic and you don't want to deal with a clutch but other than that I couldn't deal with it. Going from 1st to 2nd gives me a jolt that I wouldn't get in a manual transmission.
It pretty much seems the standard transmission is going the way of the dinosaur with all these new Autos and semi-autos coming out. A car, after all, has to get from A to B and that's it.
