I haven't tried it and don't want to because running my battery down wouldn't be good for it, but I'm just wondering if I needed to, could I bump start a manual car that has push button start?
This too.most of these cars have clutch safety switches
Why not just get a jump pack like the one below in case this happens? It will literally fit in your glove box, and can be recharged from any 12V outlet...
Noco Jump Pack
Being able to push start a standard tranny car was always a good thing. Had to do it in my 300ZX a couple of times.
Is there a push button car with a manual trans? I'm guessing yes, but wondering if it's an answer in search of a question.
These days I wonder if it'd be smart. I'd hope the ECU et al would work properly at a voltage too low to spin the motor. But... would they?

My 2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport has a 6 speed manual and a push button start as does my wife's Audi.
I just tried my Elantra and yes, it starts. I had to put the car in the run mode by pressing the button twice without pushing in on the clutch. Then I coasted it out of the driveway, popped the clutch and it started.
hmmm, I don't see why not. If you hit the start button without your foot on the brake is the same as turning the key on but not enough to engage the starter. Why would it run your battery down to try it on your car?
That's awesome. Thanks for testing, i idiotically thought I'd need a dead battery to try it. What gear did you use?
