I still have my Civic ricer’ and Corvette in manual. Funny. My buds owns and runs a used car place and he literally sees teenagers staring at the stick shift for 10 minutes and figuring out how to start the car..
I got a really good deal on my Focus, because they were having a hard time selling it. Like wise my daughter got her Mazda for a steal because of the manual transmission. Her first car was a 5 speed Jeep YJ. Took her a couple of days to figure it out, but did really well with it. Sadly this is likely the last one I will ever own.
