Are you very certain about NOT getting and automatic? Not only is the driver’s seat on the wrong side if you are a yank but the gearshift pattern is backwards to your instinct. It can get you really bad in an emergency downshift. Nearly killed me and I still drive a manual here, have for more than 60 years.

I’m almost positive that the shift pattern is the same, not “mirror image”. To make it a reverse pattern would be some tricky engineering...
