Shame to get old and stiff so that a stick is a burden. While today’s automatics are superior to sticks, I guarantee I paid better attention to driving in a stick compared to a lazy Lexus.

About 5-6 years ago I bought a 2nd hand Honda Accord Coupe.

Has a V6 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission.

The most fun to drive car I've ever owned.

More cars sold in the United States have automatic transmissions, not because they're better, but because the majority of cars in the United States are leased first and then sold after the lease. It's easier to sell a used car with an automatic transmission than a manual transmission.
