I’ll keep my manual 5 speed. It’s the best anti-theft device there is.

Yup. Love my four door hatchback SAAB 9-3 Turbo with a manual five speed. Car hauls you know, and is comfortable. I’ll keep it forever.
I’ve actually left my five-speed running with the door open while running a quick errand just to see if some knuckledragger is dumb enough to try.

Yep! Wish I still had my 280ZX. My two teen daughters at that time couldn’t drive it! .......I’ve seen a couple of reports of local attempts of carjacking at gas stations. The idiot thugs quickly jumped out and ran away because the cars were not automatics.
Driving a 2013 Mazda 5 minivan (microvan really) - with a six speed.
Not particularly cool looking, but actually fun to drive.
