Not much out there with a stick anymore, the only thing ive been able to find, which I do like a lot, is an Infinity G37s

Don't really want a BMW 3 series, and I cant really find much else out there. I currently have a Maxima, which I'd be open to getting a new one of those also, but seems like they quit making those in stick also..

Cause it's 2015. If you're really this obsessed with looking cool and retro, then go buy a fricking horse.

Volkswagen and Audi's still come in stickshift. Probably giving away the TDI model's for pennies on the dollar.

If you can find an E60 5 series with a manual it's a great car.

Ford does the Fusion with one, and Chevy does the SS...but you'll likely have to buy new to find one with a third pedal.

Grow the frick up, driving isn't about fun or looking cool for your buddies. It's about getting to work. Now go buy a used Camry like an adult.

hadn't ever even heard of the Chevy SS before, usually I just think of that as the package on a different model, I'll have to look into those

Does someone not know how to drive a stick?




ETA: For the OP, why not a Jeep Wrangler 4-door? They have a lot of new and used ones with manual trannies, and they're fun as hell to have.

Joking about what? I'm just trying to educate our friend Randal here on the way of the world. He thinks his new ride is for showing off, it's not. It's for getting to and from work.

His shtick is pretty weak. He couldn't hold Unknowns jock strap.

And OP the BMW 6 series has a stick, I think up until 2013.

I really like those a friend has a G8 and I like it a lot.

Though I never got the fascination with stick shift. It's fun for a sports car, but not a daily driver.

How in the frick would someone know what kind of transmission is in a vehicle? 99%+ of my two vehicles come in automatic form, just because I bought them with manuals doesn't mean they are any more showy.

Gee I don't know.... I just met you on the internet and I already know. Maybe some loudmouth show offs can't keep their mouths shut about their transmissions.

Do you have a price range?

Others to consider could be:

Subaru WRX
Cadillac ATS
Buick Regal GS (yes it came with a stick)
Ford FusionST/FiestaST
Audi and Volkswagen also come with sticks
Honda Accord
