Wife drives a Jetta stickshift. Her primary car has been a manual since she learned how to drive on a 1987 VW Fox we bought for $50.

Yes, I have one. Just wish I had the rest of the vehicle to go with it.

Yes they are. Just bought my son a 5 speed '09 Jetta and had to drive to Dallas from Baton Rouge to find it.

Kid wanted his first car to be a stick. Damn video games glorified it for him.

Drove an 01 mustang GT in high school. 5 speed hand-me-down.

Now drive a 2013 Subaru brz 6 speed.
Love it when I'm not in traffic.

Always stuck in fricking br traffic.

Next car is going to be an Audi S6 with the paddle shifters. Best of both worlds in sport mode

6 speed cts-v. Have also owned a 6 speed Camaro SS and a few manual transmission accords. I was about to settle on an auto cts-v when I found the 6 speed, so glad I did.

I've driven them all my life. Started out with a nissan, then 240 z, then isusu rodio. Minivan for 10 years raising kids. Now back to a Mini.
Manual trasmissions are the new anti car theft device. Lol

I am pretty sure I could leave my Jeep in the ghetto with the engine running for an hour and only find a block away when I came back.

Had a 6 speed Audi A4 for a long time. Got tired of using a clutch 6000 times a day in Baton Rouge traffic.

I had a 6 speed Kia Soul for about 3 years. Just sold it a year ago. I miss that car every day. Not powerful by any means, but quite zippy in the city, and a ton of fun to drive.
