I’ll stick with my 1991 Mazda Miata, with its honest-to-goodness H-pattern five-speed gearbox, three-pedal layout and total lack of driver aids (not even ABS). Unless someone wants to give me a new Boss 302...
We used to have a Mazda Spyder with a supercharger, rear end engine, H pattern 5 speed. Loved driving that car and it was great in the snow and ice because you could really gear down. Would buy another one in a minute if they still made them. Always drove barefooted though, real high heels and all those pedals didn’t get along well.
