And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.

I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

    Yes, I’m 45 and from the US.

    Unfortunately, although my current car (Mazda3) is available in a manual, I was looking to buy a 2018 model in 2019. My options were limited to remaining inventory, which did not include any manuals. Will be looking for a manual next time, but it’s becoming almost impossible to find here.

      Same for me as a 41 year old. My old Mazda 3 was stick, but the 2022 model didn’t come in stick so I had to get automatic. I’m not sure if they were just out of manual transmissions, but they are getting harder to find.

      I have a civic manual. Same problem. If I want a manual I have to go far more premium than I care to… I want an upgrade with the refresh but not double the cost… Seems like Honda has shifted (ha!) to only putting the manual in the type R, which the base cost is nearly double that of other similarly sized vehicles.
