Why did you get a manual

[TeeLew]

Exactly why im probably about to sell my 10r80 ans get a manual

It's a shame that the box we have is the MT-82. It shifts mediocre & is relatively fragile.

Tremec anyone?

Life is short. Just DD it, manual or auto. These are beautiful cars and should
enjoy every minute of it.

It's really not bad compared to a lot of other manuals on the market in my opinion. Especially the manuals available on a lot of other popular cars, like the Golf, BRZ, Veloster, etc. It's relatively middle of the pack, with the only ones that I feel are better are the Tremecs (obviously) and Honda's stuff. The fragility is something they've tried to work on, so we'll see how the newer cars fare over time.

I believe Mustang has the highest percentage of manual transmission sales of any car. I don't recall the exact numbers, but I know it was over 20%. I think a lot of buyers are reliving their muscle car days of the past. Average age of Mustang buyers is well past 50.

Actually, it's the WRX that has the highest MT take rate in the industry. And it's not even close. The Mustang appears to be tops within the V8 2+2 segment (Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers).


The Subaru WRX/STI has the highest manual take rate of any car on this list, approximately 88 percent. Manuals make up a healthy 73 percent of BRZs

Ford says 50 percent of current Mustang GT buyers and 20 percent of Mustang EcoBoost buyers choose the six-speed manual.

Manual take rate on the 2019 Chevy Corvette is approximately 20 percent this year, but the new mid-engine car will only have a dual-clutch automatic on its spec sheet. Take rate on the ’19 Camaro is approximately 20 percent

A couple others . . .

Current manual take rate on the Miata is 76 percent for the soft top and 52 percent for the RF

Manual take rate for the Nissan 370Z coupe so far in 2019 is 46 percent.

Got a manual because that is all I drove. Second tranny installed at 19k. Symptoms are back at 40k. 22 years of shifting gears. Currently car shopping.

That‘s probably because the WRX and STI were only available in manual for about 10 years. Then you could opt for the CVT. Almost a no-brainer to stick with manual. Traded in my STi for the GT. That was a great car but I don’t miss it.

Ya, I was thinking that might say more about the Subie automatic than it does about their manual.

Fair enough

 

[Burger2002]

Why???
Because it's more fun for me.

Who cares which car is faster in the quarter or whatever when 99.9% of the time we are all driving on the street. Sure, my grocery store run may be 0.1 second slower than a modern auto could do (stop light limitations not withstanding), but I'd be willing to bet that I'm smiling more along the way shifting my own gears and playing with heal/toe with every downshift.

Shouldnt it be the civic type r since they only come in manual? Or are they grouped in with the other civic variants?

The counterpoint obviously being that if you were looking for an automatic that wasn't a CVT, you'd have ended up spending your money at somebody else's store.

You really have to treat low-production special models like the Type R and the GT350s separately from the question because of there being no choice. Not that adding 7000-ish GT350s to 50000-ish GTs @ 50% MT changes the overall mix all that much (56-ish% MT).
