Remember when it seemed like every car came with a stick shift? Unfortunately, manual transmissions aren’t as widespread as they once were.
Over the years, automakers have gradually eliminated their six-speed options as customer demand for the classic do-it-yourself shifter has declined.
But don’t worry there’s still hope. In 2025, there are still nearly 30 vehicles available with a manual transmission.These include a variety of choices, from sports cars and sporty sedans to SUVs and even a pickup truck.
Cars That Still Shift Like New
While many beloved models are abandoning the manual gearbox in the coming year, it’s reassuring to know that some are still holding the line. Stay strong.
1. Acura Integra
Acura continues to keep the manual tradition alive with its smallest offering: the Integra.
The base version pairs a six-speed manual transmission with front-wheel drive and is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 200 horsepower. Pricing for the 2025 Integra starts at $34,195.
We believe the Integra A-Spec Technology presents a fantastic alternative to the more expensive and higher-performance Type S. It is equipped in a way that suits the desires of most buyers, offering a sportier appearance with 18-inch wheels—larger than the standard 17-inch wheels—and enhanced features.
This trim also includes the Technology Package, which offers an adaptive suspension system, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 16-speaker ELS audio system, and wireless smartphone charging. One of the most notable features of this trim is the option for a six-speed manual transmission, a feature unavailable on the lower-priced models.
The Integra A-Spec Technology is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, sourced directly from the Honda Civic Si. While the standard transmission is a continuously variable automatic (CVT), the top trim allows for the addition of a six-speed manual and a limited-slip differential. All Integras are front-wheel drive. The vehicle offers multiple driving modes: Comfort, Normal, Sport, and Individual.
These modes adjust steering assist, transmission and throttle response, idle stop, and gauge colors. During our initial test drive, the Integra demonstrated its liveliness and agility. The steering felt heavy, precise, and satisfying.
The Comfort mode provided the softest and smoothest ride, while Sport mode sharpened handling. Normal mode offered a balance between the two. However, one downside is the noticeable road noise, which detracts from the premium experience.
Choosing the manual transmission certainly makes the Integra more engaging to drive, though it doesn’t significantly alter the vehicle’s overall performance. In our test, the six-speed manual A-Spec accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds, which is just 0.1 second faster than the A-Spec with the CVT.
The EPA rates the base Integra model with the CVT as the most fuel-efficient, with an estimated 30 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. For comparison, the Audi A3, one of the Integra’s primary competitors, achieves 29 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.
With the A-Spec trim and manual transmission, the fuel economy drops to 26 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. During our highway fuel-economy test at 75 mph, the automatic version of the Integra surpassed its EPA rating, achieving 38 mpg.
If you’re familiar with the Acura TLX sedan or the RDX SUV, you’ll find the Integra’s interior to be quite familiar, especially its instrument panel. One of the standout features of the A-Spec trim with the Technology Package is the interior upgrade, which includes a 12-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a four-way power-adjustable front passenger seat.
Both front seats are wrapped in a combination of faux leather and faux suede. In comparison, lower trims come with an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. The back seat is spacious enough for two passengers, but not much else.
Although marketed as a premium subcompact, the Integra lacks certain features typically expected in this class, such as rear air vents and heated seats. However, as a hatchback, the Integra’s rear seats can fold down, providing ample room to accommodate a mountain bike or expand the already generous 24 cubic-foot cargo space.

2. Nissan Z
The Nissan Z is in need of a manual transmission, and fortunately, the 2025 model maintains its six-speed manual option across the Sport, Performance, and Heritage Edition trims.
This transmission is paired with a standard twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. Unfortunately, a manual transmission is still unavailable on the Nismo model; the 420-horsepower Z Nismo is only offered with a nine-speed automatic transmission featuring paddle shifters.
Nissan relaunched its rear-wheel-drive Z sports car in the U.S. last year, but as a limited-production model, it comes across as something of a parts-bin special. It features a 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 sourced from Infiniti and rides on a refined FM platform carried over from the 370Z—an architecture that itself evolved from the underpinnings of the 2003 350Z.
The car’s body retains the overall profile of the 370Z but incorporates retro styling cues that appeal to enthusiasts nostalgic for the iconic 240Z.
In contrast, Toyota approached its GR Supra project through a joint venture with BMW, sharing most of the underlying mechanicals with the BMW Z4. Ford, meanwhile, followed a path similar to Nissan’s by significantly updating the existing Mustang platform to create the current generation.
The challenge for Nissan is that the new Z’s $42,000 starting price puts it directly in competition with the 486-horsepower V8-powered Ford Mustang GT and the much more modern Toyota Supra. That said, the Z still delivers plenty of fun behind the wheel—our test drive showed that it’s often misunderstood and more capable than it may seem at first glance.
For the 2024 model year, the Nissan Z lineup sees the return of the high-performance Nismo trim. This version comes with handling and aerodynamic upgrades, along with a 20-horsepower increase. Other changes for 2024 are minimal, with the only notable addition being Amazon Alexa integration in the infotainment systems of the Performance and Nismo trims.
The limited-run Proto Spec trim, which had only 240 units produced, is no longer available, and the base price for the Z has increased by $1,220.
Despite the $10,000 premium, the Performance trim is the better choice. While it’s possible to live with the Sport trim’s basic cloth seats, lack of heated seating, and bare-bones infotainment system without navigation, it also misses out on important upgrades.
The Performance trim includes enhancements such as larger Akebono brakes, a limited-slip differential, and paddle shifters for the automatic—all features that make it feel more like a proper sports car. For that reason, it’s the trim we recommend.
3. Porsche 718 Boxster/ Cayman
The Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman sports cars may not be around much longer, as Porsche plans to replace them with electric versions in the future. For now, however, the 718 range still comes with a standard six-speed manual transmission, with an optional seven-speed PDK dual-clutch available for those who prefer it.
Porsche has officially confirmed that the fully electric successor to its 718 Boxster and Cayman sports cars will feature a unique stacked mid-mounted battery design. This innovative architecture will allow Porsche to recreate the characteristics of a low-slung two-seater sports car, while also optimizing range and reducing overall weight.
With this in mind, the upcoming electric 718—which will be offered in both coupé Cayman and soft-top Boxster forms—will use the same mid-mounted stacked battery layout introduced in the 2021 Mission R concept.
This setup will provide weight distribution comparable to that of a traditional internal combustion engine sports car and allow for a significantly lower driving position than what is offered in the Taycan.
While Porsche isn’t the first manufacturer to explore alternative battery configurations—Maserati’s Gran Turismo Folgore, for example, uses a ‘T’-shaped battery layout to position the driver and passenger on either side—the brand’s approach remains distinctive.
A similar concept is also anticipated for the forthcoming electric Mazda MX-5. Porsche has confirmed that the battery used in the electric 718 will be “smaller than that of the Macan or Taycan” to minimize weight.
Based on this, it’s likely the new 718 EV will feature a battery capacity similar to the 82kWh unit found in the Mission R, but with more compact dimensions compared to the underfloor battery pack in the Macan.
Porsche aims for the new model to achieve an official range exceeding 300 miles and has confirmed that all future EVs will be based on 800-volt architecture to support ultra-fast charging.Porsche currently estimates its EV battery systems will last around 15 years and up to 300,000km (186,000 miles).
Porsche engineers anticipate that the electric 718 will surpass the lifespan of typical EV batteries, despite higher operating temperatures aimed at boosting performance and the assumption that owners will drive their cars hard on a regular basis.
Performance won’t be lacking either. The electric 718 is expected to be available in both single- and dual-motor configurations, and even the base version is likely to beat the petrol model’s 0–62mph time of 4.5 seconds. Still, it’s not expected to reach the extreme output of the Mission R or the Cayman GT4 ePerformance, which boasts a staggering 1,073bhp.
Aesthetically, the next-generation 718 will be a modern evolution of the current car, incorporating design cues from the Taycan and the latest 911. This includes quad-dot headlights and a straked front bumper, which may feature active aerodynamic elements.
As with other contemporary Porsches, the electric Boxster and Cayman will sport a full-width light bar at the rear. Like the new Macan, this could include an illuminated ‘PORSCHE’ script. Naturally, the traditional exhaust outlet will be absent, with an optional Porsche Sport Sound generator providing synthetic driving noise.
Inside, the transformation will be substantial. Compared with the ageing petrol version, the cabin of the electric 718 will be a significant leap forward in terms of design and technology. Expect a fully digital instrument cluster, a widescreen centre display, and a high degree of customisation—consistent with Porsche’s tradition—covering a wide range of exterior and interior colour options.
The all-electric Porsche 718 is anticipated to be officially revealed later this year, with sales expected to begin in early 2026. While pricing has not yet been finalised, the entry-level Cayman is expected to start around £75,000, with the convertible Boxster version likely to carry a slight premium.
4. Subaru WRX
Subaru’s legendary sports sedan continues to offer a manual transmission for 2025. The WRX comes equipped with a standard six-speed manual transmission, paired with a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder boxer engine that produces 271 horsepower. This setup is available on the Base, Premium, and Limited models, as well as the newly introduced WRX tS for 2025. The WRX has a starting price of a reasonable $33,855.
The WRX may stand for World Rally eXperimental, but for dedicated Subaru fans, it symbolizes intensely spirited performance. This rally-inspired sport sedan is available in Base, Premium, Limited, and GT trims, all equipped with a 271-horsepower turbocharged flat-four engine.
As expected, all-wheel drive comes standard—because it’s a Subaru. A six-speed manual transmission is the standard gearbox, while a CVT automatic is optional on most trims and standard on the GT. The current WRX, which has grown more distinct from its Impreza roots, still carries an aggressive, energetic presence.
However, some of its rowdy charm has been toned down in pursuit of refinement—a shift not lost on rivals like the Hyundai Elantra N and Toyota GR Corolla, which equal or even exceed the WRX in raw, rebellious appeal.
In 2024, Subaru upped the performance ante by introducing the WRX TR, a manual-only model. For 2025, things escalate further with the debut of the WRX tS—short for “tuned by STI.” This model is tailored for enthusiasts, offering enhanced brakes, a revised suspension setup, and several distinct visual changes.
If you’re looking to row your own gears and still want good value, the WRX Premium is the sweet spot. It includes the six-speed manual transmission and comes with desirable features like heated front seats and keyless entry with pushbutton start. While the tS is the top enthusiast pick with STI upgrades, those interested in customizing their WRX might prefer starting with the more budget-conscious Premium.
Every WRX variant is powered by the same turbocharged 2.4-liter flat-four engine producing 271 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. All models come with all-wheel drive and offer a six-speed manual as standard, with a CVT automatic available on the Premium and Limited trims and standard on the GT. Wheel options vary by model, ranging from 17- to 18-inch summer tires.
The new WRX tS improves on the outgoing TR with a host of performance upgrades, including a retuned suspension featuring adaptive dampers and high-performance Brembo brakes equipped with larger pads and rotors. According to Subaru, these enhancements result in better fade resistance, improved pedal feel, and stronger stopping power.
While the tS brakes impressed during our racetrack drive, they didn’t perform quite as well in our standard test environment. Visually, the tS distinguishes itself with black accents on the side mirrors, antenna, and rear spoiler, contrasted by gold brake calipers and 19-inch satin gray wheels.
Performance expectations remain high, and though the WRX tS brings track-ready equipment, all trims stick with the same core mechanical setup. Subaru’s WRX continues to deliver, especially for drivers looking to balance daily usability with weekend thrills.

5. BMW M4
The situation is the same with the new M4. For 2025, BMW offers the six-speed manual solely on the rear-wheel-drive M4, which produces 473 horsepower.
The rear-wheel-drive M4 Competition and the even more powerful M4 Competition xDrive deliver 503 and 523 horsepower respectively, but both are available only with the eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2025 BMW M4 high-performance coupe makes its intentions clear from first glance: its sculpted, muscular body hunkers down over wide tires, a pronounced front aero element manages airflow efficiently, and four exhaust tips loudly signal the presence of its twin-turbocharged inline-six engine.
Much like its M3 sedan counterpart—both structurally and philosophically linked—the M4 is the product of BMW’s M performance division, which has extensively refined its powertrain and chassis.
The standard M4 features a 473-horsepower twin-turbo inline-six engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive—a classic setup designed to maximize driver engagement. BMW’s continued support of this configuration speaks volumes about its commitment to driving purity.
Stepping up to the Competition trim eliminates the manual in favor of an eight-speed automatic but increases output to 503 horsepower. For 2025, opting for all-wheel drive in the Competition model brings with it a performance bonus: an additional 20 horsepower, raising the total to 523.
For those chasing peak performance, the CS variant delivers even more, boasting a 543-horsepower version of the same engine. The M4’s suspension has been engineered for sharp handling and excels on winding roads and race tracks, delivering exceptional grip.
However, its firm tuning means you’ll feel every bump and imperfection in the road—a constant reminder of just how tightly dialed-in this machine really is.
Cars With Terrible Transmissions
Which transmissions have the most problems? Here are the ten models with the most transmission issues, as outlined by Car Guide.
1. Nissan Murano
A 2011 or 2013 Nissan Murano’s transmission might last up to 190,000 km, but it’s prone to developing problems. In comparison, the Ford Edge and Toyota Highlander are typically more dependable.
The 2026 Nissan Murano is projected to start at approximately $42,000 and reach up to $51,000, depending on the chosen trim level and added options.
Among the available SV, SL, and Platinum trims, the SL stands out as the best choice. It brings a host of desirable features, including heated side mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, tinted rear windows, memory settings for the driver’s seat, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, built-in navigation, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a garage door opener, a surround-view camera system, and ambient lighting throughout the cabin.
Every Murano is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 241 horsepower. A nine-speed automatic transmission comes standard, along with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available on the SV trim and comes standard on the SL and Platinum versions.
In our first drive of the redesigned Murano, we noticed a significant improvement in handling compared to the outgoing model. It now offers sharper steering and a more stable feel on the road. The pairing of the turbocharged engine and nine-speed automatic doesn’t deliver overtly sporty performance, but it’s responsive and, importantly, a substantial upgrade over the previous generation’s continuously variable transmission.
2. Kia Forte
Although the Kia Forte was only introduced in 2019, many owners have reported transmission failures after just 20,000–40,000 km! Vehicles like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or Kia Soul generally offer greater reliability.
Although sedans are no longer the go-to choice for most buyers, affordable compact sedans like the 2024 Kia Forte continue to find their place in the market. While they may not match SUVs in practicality, these budget-friendly vehicles still offer plenty of features and can even deliver a bit of driving excitement.
This is particularly true in the GT trim of the Forte, which is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 201 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. The rest of the lineup, however, is more modest, producing just 147 hp—lagging behind competitors like the Honda Civic Sedan and Mazda 3. Still, that doesn’t mean the Forte lacks appeal.
For 2024, changes are minimal, as rumors circulate about a completely redesigned Kia Forte sedan arriving next year. However, the GT-Line trim does see a few safety feature upgrades, now including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and an electronic parking brake.
The 2024 Kia Forte offers a wide price range, making it accessible to different types of drivers. Starting at $19,790 for the base LX and topping out at $25,190 for the GT Manual, the Forte presents several trims in between.
The LXS comes in at $20,290, the GT-Line at $22,290, and the automatic GT costs $24,490. All these prices are MSRP and do not include the $1,125 destination charge. While the GT trims bring the heat with their turbo engines, they don’t offer the same value as the less expensive models.
The GT-Line, now more generously equipped with safety features, offers a middle ground by saving buyers a few thousand dollars—savings that can be redirected toward Premium packages to enhance the cabin’s feel. Even the base LX model delivers excellent value for its price point.
Inside, the Forte’s cabin may not be the most spacious or luxurious, but it’s smartly designed. The layout maximizes space efficiency and usability, with a landscape-oriented touchscreen mounted in the center of the dashboard for easy access.
Physical controls for the climate and audio systems are still present, which many drivers will appreciate. The steering wheel hosts several functions, and the driver benefits from a clear information display. A sunroof becomes available starting with the GT-Line trim.
Seating capacity is standard at five, though the compact size of the Forte limits rear seat comfort. While the front row offers generous legroom—over 40 inches—the back seat is tighter and better suited for small passengers or short trips.
Taller adults may find the rear seat lacking in both head- and legroom, and the sloped roofline can make entry and exit tricky. Front power seats and sport seats only come with higher trims, but overall visibility is good across the lineup.
Cargo space is a strong point for the Forte, especially given that sedans are not typically known for storage. The trunk offers 15.3 cubic feet of space, accessible via a wide opening.
This is more than sufficient for everyday use, and folding rear seats allow for additional flexibility. Storage in the cabin includes cupholders in front of the center armrest, a small cubby, sizable glove compartment, and door pockets. Higher trims feature a fold-down rear center armrest with added cupholders.
When compared to competitors, the Forte holds its own in terms of interior room. It seats five like the Honda Civic Sedan and Mazda 3, but offers slightly more trunk space—15.3 cubic feet versus 14.8 in the Civic and 13.2 in the Mazda 3. Front headroom and legroom are competitive, though rear space is less generous, as expected in this class.
Design-wise, the Forte stands out more than you’d expect from a car in this price range. Its aggressive front fascia features deeply slanted projector headlights that flow into a slim grille, split by the Kia badge.
GT-Line trims add LED fog and taillights, and the GT models upgrade to LED headlights and dual exhausts. All GT variants feature sportier styling with gloss-black accents and red trim, while wheel sizes climb from 15 inches on the base model to 18 inches on the GT trims.
So, is the 2024 Kia Forte a good car? For those on a budget, it’s a very strong contender. While not a thrill to drive and not class-leading in rear seat comfort, it’s hard to beat the Forte’s value, fuel economy, and reliability.
With a solid safety feature set, good infotainment options, and one of the best warranties around, it offers a well-rounded package that makes a lot of sense for budget-conscious buyers.
3. Ford Focus
Ford has experienced ongoing transmission troubles over the years. Models of the Focus built between 2012 and 2017 are known for issues.
Getting even 100,000 km out of one could be considered fortunate. More reliable alternatives include the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda3.
We’re particularly impressed with the Ford Focus’s entry-level engine—the 123bhp 1.0 Ecoboost 125 mHEV (that’s a mild hybrid petrol). While it’s not especially quick off the mark, taking 10.4 seconds to reach 60mph, it pairs with a slick six-speed manual gearbox and delivers a solid surge of power once the revs climb past 2000rpm. That said, the VW Golf 1.5 TSI 130 still offers a punchier performance overall.
Aside from the Ford Focus ST hot hatch, which we’ve reviewed separately, the only other engine option is the 1.0 Ecoboost 155 mHEV. Producing 153bhp, it feels marginally more powerful and cuts the 0-60mph sprint down to 8.6 seconds.
The 155 mHEV variant comes exclusively with an automatic gearbox. While it tends to be a bit jerky at low speeds, it shifts briskly and performs well once you’re in motion. Even so, you’ll find smoother automatic transmissions in rivals like the Golf and Skoda Octavia.
If a mild-hybrid petrol isn’t your thing, you’ll need to explore other family car options. The Golf and several other competitors offer a broader engine lineup.
Regardless of which Ford Focus trim you opt for, expect a ride that’s firmer than what you’d get in a Skoda Scala, Toyota Corolla, or Vauxhall Astra. That said, it still manages to be fundamentally comfortable, with its suspension offering more compliance than what you’ll find in a Kia Ceed or Mazda 3.
Even the ST-Line versions, which sit lower and have stiffer suspension setups, don’t deliver a harsh ride. However, you’ll notice a bit more firmness over sharper bumps and potholes. This is especially noticeable on the ST-Line X model, thanks to its larger 18-inch alloy wheels.
Meanwhile, the SUV-influenced Active trims take a different approach. They ride 30mm higher than the standard versions, which gives them slightly more body sway over uneven surfaces compared to the rest of the range.
4. Nissan Pathfinder
Nissan’s transmission reputation doesn’t improve with the Pathfinder. The 2013–2014 models, in particular, are among the worst offenders.
While the average mileage ranges between 90,000 and 175,000 km, the potential cost and frequency of repairs can be frustrating. The Toyota Highlander offers a more reliable option.
The Nissan Pathfinder has evolved over nearly 40 years, transitioning from a rugged off-roader in its early days to a more family-oriented vehicle in its fourth generation.
Now, in its fifth generation, the 2025 Pathfinder strikes a balance between the two. It provides a roomy and comfortable interior with a quiet ride, but even the Rock Creek Edition, which is the most off-road-oriented trim, falls short compared to the Ford Bronco, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Toyota Land Cruiser when it comes to off-roading capabilities.
Instead, the Pathfinder is better suited for everyday family needs, and the standard third-row seat accommodates up to eight passengers, or seven if you opt for the available second-row captain’s chairs.
While the standard V-6 engine and nine-speed automatic transmission are competent, they don’t stand out, but the Pathfinder’s impressive 6,000-pound maximum towing capacity is one of the best in its class, surpassing competitors like the Hyundai Palisade and Toyota Highlander.
5. Nissan Sentra
Nissan makes the list again! If you drive a 2012, 2013, or 2015 Sentra, be ready for possible visits to the transmission shop. Between 120,000 and 200,000 km, these Sentras are known for recurring issues. Such problems are far less common in models like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or Mazda3.
The 2025 Nissan Sentra is ranked 7 in the Compact Cars category, with an overall score of 8.4 out of 10. This score is based on an evaluation of 30 pieces of research and data from various sources. In comparison to other vehicles in the segment, the Sentra sits below the 2025 Mazda Mazda3, Honda Civic, and Hyundai Elantra, but offers solid value within its category.
In terms of pricing, the Sentra starts at $21,590 for the base S trim, which is considered one of the most affordable options in the compact car market. The SV trim is priced at $22,290, while the top-tier SR trim comes in at $24,590.
While the base trim may appear basic, upgrading to the SV brings in desirable features like a larger touchscreen, upgraded upholstery, and adaptive cruise control, making it a great value for the price.
The Sentra’s performance rating of 5.5/10 reflects its 149-horsepower four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The vehicle lacks dynamic excitement, especially when compared to competitors like the Honda Civic, which offers more responsive steering and tighter handling.
The Sentra’s suspension is soft, and its brakes are criticized for requiring longer stopping distances than its rivals. However, the overall ride quality is comfortable for a compact car, which is more characteristic of larger, pricier sedans.
Fuel economy for the Sentra is a strong point, with the S and SV trims returning an EPA-estimated 34 mpg combined (30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway), while the SR trim delivers 33 mpg combined. This puts the Sentra on par with other compact cars in terms of fuel efficiency.
Inside, the Sentra boasts a simple yet ergonomic cabin design. The front seats are supportive and offer good legroom, but rear-seat legroom and headroom are among the tightest in the class. The car’s trunk provides 14.3 cubic feet of cargo space, which is typical for compact cars.
As for safety, the Sentra earned high marks for crashworthiness from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and includes a suite of standard driver-assistance features, including forward collision warning, lane-departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring.
It also offers an easy-to-use LATCH system for child safety seat installation. Regarding quality and reliability, the Sentra has a predicted reliability score of 86 out of 100, indicating solid performance in this area.
In terms of value, the Sentra shines with a rating of 9.5/10, thanks to its competitive pricing and excellent cost of ownership. Although its driving dynamics and cargo capacity hold it back in the compact car class, it remains a solid option for daily commuting.
If you’re looking for a vehicle with great fuel economy, a comfortable ride, and a value-oriented price, the 2025 Nissan Sentra stands as a good choice. However, it faces stiff competition from other compact cars like the Honda Civic, which offers more engaging driving performance, and the Toyota Corolla, which boasts a better infotainment system.
