Who's still driving a stick shift daily?

[Ausfahrt]

Our Crosstrek is a manual and I'll drive it as long as I can. The fact that it's port injected and lacking a big iPad in the middle of the dash makes it feel like I'm driving a prehistoric dinosaur sometimes.

What are you driving?

All 4 of our cars are manuals but I live in the UK where most cars are manual. I reckon if I walked around my office carpark and peeked through the windows 9 out of 10 cars would be manuals.

No ipad? Does it also have an old-fashioned hand-crank starter?

Mazda B3000. Love it.

Good point.

My wife and I were in Ireland a few months ago and rented a stick shift Opel. Driving on the wrong side of the road wasn't too bad until I encountered the roundabouts.

I DD my Mazda 3 with the 5spd. Little car is a lot of fun and a great 'beater' IMO. I do wish it had hands free phone and there is no good way to add a aftermarket stereo to it unfortunately. My Samurai/F-150 are both manuals as well, but they just get used occasionally. I used to think I would prefer a manual in every single type of vehicle, but the 8spd in my Ram is so good I wouldn't want to change it..

My '98 Wrangler is manual. It's pretty much my daily once the weather gets a bit nicer and there is no salt on the roads.

Since 1976 I’ve never owned an automatic. DD is 2012 Honda Fit and 1996 Tacoma.

2016 Tacoma 4x4 and a tractor.

All my cars since1970 when I started driving had always MT including the current one in signature.
Had few rentals with AT and didn't like it.

Never again unless I luck up on an old Toyota pickup .

 

[Astro14]

My daily driver in Colorado is a manual. Here in VB - the daily drivers are all automatic.

 

[FCD]

I daily my 1988 Escort XR3i Cabrio which is manual, no PAS or AC either.

 

[SwampSurvivor]

The Grand Marquis is my first daily driver since 2010 that is an automatic. I'm okay with that.

I don't see myself going back to a manual DD. Unless I got something fun like a new GR corolla.

We still have a couple of stick-stift's in the fleet that get driven all the time but they are on the beater end of the spectrum.

 

[LostInTransit]

I would rather drive a manual. But this old body can't lift the left leg high enough to clutch..

 

[DriveHard]

Every summer day it is nice I drive my C5 to work and back.

 

[Lubener]

My 87 F150 (4.9) with a 4spd OD on the floor.

 

[mrnkc130]

my daily driver 16 Accent is a 6spd manual, would be the most boring car on earth without it, close to it with it.

I am, and will for the next car at least. If I was doing a lot of 65mph roads I probably would get an automatic just for the fuel savings, but for my normal puttering around on 55mph roads, a manual is fun and repair free(so far).
