bmw does shift quite wonderfully. I learnt manual on a Mazda demio though around 1L engine and very predictable shifts gave me all the confidence in driving a manual full time... Then I got a Honda Integra B16A engine (early 90s) which revv

Volvo/VW/Mazda/Honda/Nissan all make EVs too, and they all look pretty normal to me... XC40 or C40 are probably what you're after? look just like any old matchbox cars..

I was driving along E80 from Nice to Genoa once, in a fairly standard diesel stick Audi A4 rental. I drove fairly normally at start, but then many cars kept passing me and in a typical Italian fashion with plenty of directional signals. The
