Not in the U.S.
Miata, Wrangler, Mustang, and a handful of others, but they’re the exception rather than the rule.
- tmerc 6y agoMy list might be dated.. Fords Focus ST/RS, Fiesta ST; VW GTI, Golf R; Honda Civic SI, Civic Type R, Accord; Toyota Tacoma, FRS/86; Subaru WRX/STI, Forester, BRZ. Most of those are performance oriented. Those that aren't will probably be all automatics.
- nradov 6y agoFord has discontinued US sales of the Focus and Fiesta.
- falcolas 6y agoSo that's Mazda, Ford, Dodge. I know Subaru (WRX, BRZ, STI), Jeep (Wrangler), Nissan (370), Audi (A3), and Chevy (Malibu) do as well. You won't find them at dealers very often (they're not popular) but they are available for most of the budget lines provided by the manufacturers.
- macintux 6y ago“Most budget lines” (which I’m skeptical is accurate) is different from “broadly available”, but I suppose lacking any precise definitions of either phrase it’s not a useful argument.
- falcolas 6y ago> which I’m skeptical is accurate Feel free to look for yourself. They list it under "powertrain" in the specs pages. > is different from “broadly available”, FWIW, my definition boils down to: available from most manufacturers, in the major form factors (truck, SUV, sedan, compact, sport).
- macintux 6y agoWell, as one counter-example, because there's far too much data to dig out of the aether, as far as I can tell there are only two manufacturers selling manual pickups: Jeep and Toyota. No Chevy, Dodge, GMC, Ford. That's just one huge gap. Update: also, if you extend that to SUVs, one of the hottest markets, I think the only model you add is the Ford Bronco. So there are no entry-level pickups or SUVs as manuals. For CUVs you could probably add Kia Soul and Mazda, but not much else.
