Nice to see there are other manual transmission aficionados around here, including davef!

I drive a 2017 Mazda3 GT Hatchback. Not a brute power monster (185 hp), but transmission, clutch, steering and suspension are so well matched that it is a blast to drive (especially on curvy, deserted roads here in New England, wink, wink...)

We'll see what manual transmission cars are left when time comes to replace it.

I might be "forced" to buy a VW Golf GTI ahahaha...
