Every New Car You Can Still Buy with a Manual Transmission (2024)

The first car on this list is a name you might remember from the 1990s: the Acura Integra. Yes, the compact hatchback is back for 2023 and offers a six-speed manual to pair with its 200-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

Yep, a new iteration of the BMW M2 is on its way, and mercifully the manual-transmission remains available. This time around, it pairs with a 453-horsepower twin-turbocharged inline-six, and the new styling is muscular.

Every BMW M3 since the original E30 has been available with a manual gearbox. Thankfully BMW has decided to keep that streak alive. Like its mechanical twin, the M4, the high-performance sedan is also available with a six-speed manual, albeit only in the car's standard 473-hp guise.

Like its M3 sedan sibling, the BMW M4 can be ordered with a row-your-own six-speed behind its 473-hp twin-turbo inline-six. That said, the gearbox is limited to the coupe body style, as the M4 convertible is an automatic-only affair.

Cadillac's CT4-V Blackwing is a monster of a machine that just so happens to offer an available six-speed gearbox. With a starting price of around $60,000, this 472-hp sports sedan is also a surprisingly stellar value. No wonder it earned a place on our latest 10Best list.

Cadillac's commitment to the stick shift goes beyond its entry-level CT4-V Blackwing, as the brand also equips its larger CT5-V Blackwing with an available six-speed manual gearbox. The transmission mates to a raucous 668-hp supercharged V-8 engine. Like the smaller CT4-V Blackwing, the CT5-V Blackwing nabbed a spot on our latest 10Best list.

Chevy will no longer sell you a Corvette with a manual gearbox, but it still lets you rip gears in the Camaro. In fact, a six-speed manual is available with every engine choice offered in this rear-wheel-drive muscle car, from the base turbo 2.0-liter all the way up to the fire-breathing ZL1's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8.

Like its rivals the Ford Mustang and the Chevy Camaro, the Dodge Challenger is still offered with a manual gearbox. Several versions of Mopar's muscle car come standard with a six-speed manual, including those equipped with the 375-hp 5.7-liter V-8, the 485-hp 6.4-liter V-8, and the more than 700-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 of the top-dog Challenger SRT Hellcat.

Though the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is dead and the Shelby GT500 is only available with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, you can still get a stick in every other version of Ford's pony car, be it a fastback coupe or a convertible. A six-speed manual is available with the potent turbo-four and optional 5.0-liter V-8.

While the turbocharged Elantra N Line discontinued its manual transmission recently, the top-dog Elantra N performance model still offers a six-speed manual gearbox. It stickers for just under $34,000 and relies on a 276-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder for motivation.

Kia only offers the Forte sedan with a stick in its high-end GT form. The top-line trim is the most powerful Forte variant thanks to its 201-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine.

Mazda doesn't offer its smallest sedan with a stick; however, the Mazda 3 hatchback is still available with one. A six-speed manual is standard in the hatch with the Premium trim level and front-wheel drive. It's paired with a 186-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder. Cars ordered with all-wheel drive or the 250-hp turbocharged engine are automatic only.

The fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata remains resolutely faithful to the rear-wheel-drive sports car's original format, which includes a manual transmission. Regardless of roof choice (cloth or power-folding hardtop), a six-speed manual is offered across the board.

Mini still offers a three-pedal option in the Cooper and more powerful Cooper S versions of its two- and four-door Hardtop and two-door Convertible models. This includes the hotter John Cooper Works model, too.

Mini limits the Clubman's six-speed stick to the car's 189-hp Cooper S trim. While we'd love the brand to offer the 302-hp John Cooper Works model with a manual transmission, we're happy Mini continues to offer its compact wagon with the option to manually swap cogs—even if it's limited to the least powerful Clubman that Mini sells on our shores.

The Nissan Versa sedan remains one of the most budget-friendly new cars you can buy, and you can get it with a five-speed manual. Unfortunately, it’s only available on the base S trim.

The Z-car is new for 2023, with a redesigned model replacing the old 370Z. Its sole engine choice for now is a 400-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, and a six-speed manual is available across the board.

We hope we'll never see the day when the Porsche 911 doesn't offer a stick. So far, so good. This year, the brand’s seven-speed manual is offered on the Carrera S, Carrera 4S, Carrera GTS, and Carrera 4 GTS in both coupe and convertible body styles, as well as in the all-wheel-drive-only Targa 4S and Targa 4 GTS (it's also standard kit on the limited-run Edition 50 Years Porsche Design special edition model). The ultra-high-performance 911 GT3, meanwhile, offers a six-speed manual that couples up to the car's naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six.
