4 Door Sedans With Manual Transmission
 
Seem to be a dying breed. :td: Other than the higher end of the spectrum, there's really not many choices (at least any cars we like). I've been looking around at various models/manufacturers and it seems electronic transmission with paddle shifters are dominant. Pretty disheartening - guess when we are ready to sell the Altima and get a new car in a couple of years we'll be upgrading.

Who has a late model sedan with manual transmission - what do you have?

We have a Subaru Legacy sedan with a manual transmission. Love that car.

You know, I looked at pretty much everything except Subaru....didn't even think about them. I'll have to take a look. Thanks.

I never realized that you were a lesbian.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

2002 Toyota Camry 5spd...(just realized I drive a 10 year old car lol and toyota stopped offering stick in the Camry. Just posting in the thread to be part of something bigger than me)
Purchased specifically for use as a backup family car\station car
I can get 500+ miles on one tank of gas if I stick to highways. Fully loaded with family...its fast enough. I'm not speeding or driving like a dick with family in the car. A family of long legged tall people

If I to replace it with another these are the only "family sedans" left.
Honda Accord
Ford fusion
Volkswagen Passat
Hyundai Sonata\Kia Optima
Mazda6
Subaru Legacy

:lol:

My first though too

I know you said NOT the higher end.....But you can get the 3 series and 5 series BMW's in stick all day long.

Used of course...I'd never buy a new "luxury" vehicle

I know - but if I were to go on that end I'd get a Lexus, Infiniti or Acura before a BMW. Just personal preference.

CasterTroy 11-06-2012 03:37 PM

I said BMW because I know you can get any of their models (unsure of the SUV's) in manual tranny

Not sure Lexus has ANY 4 doors in manual (except the IS), and Infinity is questionable.

I KNOW you can get several acura's in Manual though.

Are you gonna buy new this time?

Homeslice 11-06-2012 03:56 PM

If you call my 2006 BMW "late model".......But anyways, the shifter is OK but very long-throw.......Also the armrest hits my elbow because of the guido low-slung seating position.

Infiniti, the only one with a stick is going to be the G37.......same motor as you already have

Get a TL or TSX, imo...

Legacy GT's were no slouch. My buddy had one Turbocharged Boxer Motor with a Manual....AWD, That car was the subdued version of the STi...and Half the cost for insurance. because it was considered a "Family" car.
