FIgured it might be interested to track the manual cars that currently exist, there’s aren’t a ton compared to how many there used to be, but there’s still a few left. Below categorized by body style. I’ll edit this list if anyone comes up with any I missed:
Sedans/hatchbacks:
Accent* (base SE only)
Forte* (multiple trims)
Civic* (Si, Type R or hatchback Sport)
Corolla* (SE sedan or hatchback; GR Hatchback)
Versa* (base S only)
Spark (discontinued for 2023)
Mazda3* (Premium hatchback only)
Jetta* (S, GLI)
GTI/Golf R
Mirage/G4* (base ES only)
Elantra* (N Line only, N)
Veloster N (discontinued for 2023)
Cooper
Clubman
WRX
Impreza (sedan/hatchback)
Integra (A-Spec, Type S not yet confirmed)
I believe only select trim levels of the challenger come in manual, but probably too tedious to list out. Maybe add an * to one’s that have select trims as manual?
