Manual transmission cars used to be much more prevalent than they are now. Decades ago, automatic transmissions just weren't as fuel-efficient or as effective as they are today. As a result of the improvements to modern automatic transmissions and the benefits they bring to new cars in both fuel economy and performance, the stick shift has waned in popularity. Automakers have slowly been purging manual transmission options from their lineups, so finding a new car with a stick shift has become a novelty. It's hard to deny that automatic transmissions bring several objective benefits to just about any vehicle, but enthusiasts know the manual gearbox provides them with an unmatched driving experience and level of control that an automatic transmission cannot replicate. Read on for our list of every car you can buy in 2025 with an available manual transmission. __1. BMW Z4__ __2. Toyota GR Corolla__ __3. Hyundai Elantra N__ __4. BMW M3/BMW M4__ __5.

BMW Z4 ![2025 BMW Z4 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1z6tm9Ai4dSQnffPWJijfN/d09afb910cd863110b7418f5ebccae22/2025_BMW_Z4_Exterior.jpg) The BMW Z4 is the German automaker’s rear-wheel drive, two-seat, convertible roadster that also serves as the basis for Toyota’s GR Supra. It's a bit posher than the Supra, and comes with an excellent balance of handling and comfort, but lags behind some of the sharpest and lightest sports cars when it comes to ultimate precision. It's a bit of an anomaly in the automotive world, though. ![2025 BMW Z4 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7H8MhnFYVP1ssxbUS2m3E/614bdee4e772c1471c03f80489e9847e/2025_BMW_Z4_Interior.jpg) Not only was a stick shift added to the Z4 M40i’s option list for the 2025 model year, but it also comes at a cost of several thousand dollars over the standard eight-speed automatic transmission. Furthermore, the manual gearbox option is unavailable with the Z4’s standard 255-horsepower four-cylinder turbo powertrain equipped on the entry-level sDrive30i model. To make up for the cost difference, BMW also equips the manual Z4 M40i models with upgraded anti-roll bars, sportier suspension, and stickier tires. The manufacturer also tweaked the car’s adaptive suspension for 2025, to provide buyers with a more well-rounded driving experience.

Toyota GR Corolla ![2025 Toyota GR Corolla Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5vRYR6AVyhD15WYWy1daR4/3830fc533a9fb7426242ce40e03df55b/2025_Toyota_GR_Corolla_Exterior.jpg) With the updated 2025 Mini Cooper, the Volkswagen Golf GTI, and the Volkswagen Golf R losing their manual transmissions, the Toyota GR Corolla is one of the only remaining hot hatchbacks on the new car market with that option. A six-speed manual transmission is standard across each of its three trim levels, but where an automatic was once non-existent, a new-for-2025 eight-speed auto is an alternative for those who want to experience what it has to offer. ![2025 Toyota GR Corolla Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4Qgv3Q6EfJI5qO0FWSGDAy/f1b3c86eeab9fbdc08540852f1198949/2025_Toyota_GR_Corolla_Interior.jpg) Under its hood lies a potent 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine, equipped with a turbocharger, which helps it produce a whopping 300 horsepower. All-wheel drive is standard, along with tuned suspension, front and rear limited-slip differentials, and aggressive body styling. Launch control has also been added to the equipment list for 2025, but only for automatic models. Despite its spicy image, it has four doors, so it's not quite as impractical as its image and impressive spec sheet might imply. [Browse Toyota GR Corolla listings here](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-gr+corolla#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 3. Hyundai Elantra N ![2025 Hyundai Elantra N Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1IL8VCgsZaEKTPujs4xZQ7/b2f78b84eb21642cf2d9e67eabf41445/2025_Hyundai_Elantra_N_Exterior.jpg) The Hyundai Elantra N is the only remaining Korean sedan with a stick shift option now that the Kia Forte has been replaced by the new K4 for 2025. It sports a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 276 horsepower, and a manual transmission that comes with a rev-matching feature when downshifting. Take your foot off the gas, and you will hear its true personality come through the exhaust system via a series of cracks and pops. ![2025 Hyundai Elantra N Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6U8c9AjVZsCHau9JuJdolg/9a0ece349932ecfc896b79da5cbc90e7/2025_Hyundai_Elantra_N_Interior.jpg) Despite its front-wheel drive layout, the Elantra N has sporty touches such as a rear chassis brace, performance tires, sports seats, and tuned suspension to keep it firmly planted. It also has like a safe-exit assist system, blind-spot monitoring, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Bose sound system, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen. The Elantra N remains unchanged for 2025 after being extensively updated for the 2024 model year. [Browse Hyundai Elantra N listings here](https://www.autolist.com/hyundai-elantra+n#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 4. BMW M3/BMW M4 ![2025 BMW M3 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/23sLGyANfnyizgoHajK6ZW/2b9228d9f2e8cda690c2f4d24b7b4a18/2025_BMW_M3_Exterior.jpg) BMWs are known for being the ultimate driving machines, and “M” cars are typically the ultimate versions of regular BMW models. The BMW M3 is one of the most storied “M” cars in history, and has evolved greatly since its birth in the mid-1980s. Today, the M3 lives on as BMW’s four-door sedan model, while the M4 is the coupe or convertible version of the same car. Even though both models have AWD and higher horsepower options, the one we're after is the base model. ![2025 BMW M3 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/58NDkY965GaiCnJr2q04Th/ecbcf639b6e3261a80d2b2070ac51cdf/2025_BMW_M3_Interior.jpg) It comes with a standard six-speed manual transmission, a 473-horsepower twin-turbo inline-six engine, and rear-wheel drive. Despite not having as much power as the high-end Competition trim, it still features upgraded engine cooling, adaptive suspension, and an M Sport differential for curvy roads. A Harman Kardon sound system, dual-zone climate control, and blind-spot monitoring are there for when you just need to get to work. If you're one to enjoy a top-down experience, you're out of luck, because M4 convertible comes exclusively with an automatic transmission. Most of BMW’s changes to the M3 and M4 models also benefit trim levels without the manual option, but the addition of BMW’s newest iDrive 8.5 infotainment system is the headlining improvement. Other small additions, such as a new steering wheel and some other minor design element updates, have kept the cars fresh. [Browse BMW M3](https://www.autolist.com/bmw-m3#year_min=2025&year_max=2025)/[BMW M4 listings here](https://www.autolist.com/bmw-m4#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 5. Nissan Versa ![2025 Nissan Versa Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/33bKP41B37i8hcSCBJiPtp/3d25780cc96f37879901d7fcbe0092b5/2025_Nissan_Versa_Exterior.jpg) The Nissan Versa is one of the cheapest new cars on sale today at a starting MSRP of $17,190. Most buyers will be paying more for that, though, because the CVT-equipped Versa starts at nearly $19,000. That's because the most basic Versa comes with a five-speed manual transmission. Compared to many other cars on our list, it doesn't come with much else, but it's not bad next to to econoboxes of years past. ![2025 Nissan Versa Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4kn8PuXt0dhqkP3Qy7vRmG/98dfa7b03b493b84a1a471b3908118a3/2025_Nissan_Versa_Interior.jpg) Every trim level features a 122-horsepower four-cylinder engine that pushes fuel economy to 35 MPG with the manual gearbox equipped. None of those stats are super impressive compared to other small cars, but it's fine for a subcompact sedan with only five speeds. Lane-departure warning, LED headlights, rear automatic braking, pedestrian detection, and a seven-inch touchscreen aren't bad for a brand-new vehicle that costs less than $20,000. With the exception of standard LED headlights and free oil changes from Nissan for two years or 24,000 miles, the Versa carries over into 2025 unchanged. [Browse Nissan Versa listings here](https://www.autolist.com/nissan-versa#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 6. Jeep Wrangler ![2025 Jeep Wrangler Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/rXrPU6wSw9om9UXVF1KOC/fde16f31b607ce572a3f71d0109173ca/2025_Jeep_Wrangler_Exterior.jpg) The Jeep Wrangler is the quintessential off-road SUV. Backed by a huge cult following, extensive aftermarket support, and a robust catalog of extras, the Wrangler is also one of the few SUVs to still offer a manual transmission. Sport, Sport S, Willys, Rubicon, and Rubicon X models all come with a six-speed manual and a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower. ![2025 Jeep Wrangler Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/439JdUWXVUs9v4SbWJRkwj/7e96e0d941fb29102948c1c49e94e723/2025_Jeep_Wrangler_Interior.jpg) In fact, the automatic transmission option no longer exists for any V6-powered Wrangler, leaving four-cylinder Sahara models, V8-powered Rubicon 392 models, and 4Xe plug-in hybrid models the ones to get if you need an automatic transmission in 2025. Each model comes standard with four-wheel drive, removable doors, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and power windows and locks—both newly standard for 2025. Of course, you can option your Wrangler with off-road goodies such as locking differentials, skid plates, and mud-terrain tires, but expect all of them to lack the road manners of modern crossovers. We don’t mind that at all, though. [Browse Jeep Wrangler listings here](https://www.autolist.com/jeep-wrangler#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 7. Porsche 718 Boxster/Porsche 718 Cayman ![2025 Porsche 718 Boxster Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/19f86FPCSybqeoExqGHLO6/2a0254f47005d8820ded9af218043889/2025_Porsche_718_Boxster_Exterior.jpg) Porsche’s famous two-seat convertible Roadster, the Boxster, and its two-door coupe twin, the Cayman, are often considered two of the best sports cars of all time. Part of their allure includes rowing your own gears with the standard six-speed manual transmission that comes on nearly every trim level, but a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout ensures sublime handling from a near-perfectly balanced vehicle. ![2025 Porsche 718 Boxster Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/65DBquCEhNvrX3Q3xBcxjt/9283ea286e68c76335ceef0f63270dca/2025_Porsche_718_Boxster_Interior.jpg) None of the engines in the 718 lineup lacks grunt, either. Base models feature a 300-horsepower flat-four turbo, S models come with a slightly larger 2.5-liter flat-four turbo that produces 350 horsepower, GTS 4.0 models come with 394 horsepower, courtesy of a flat-six powerplant. Cayman models have a slightly lower starting price than Boxsters, but there's no way you can lose in either model. Neither sees any significant changes for 2025. [Browse Porsche 718 Boxster](https://www.autolist.com/porsche-718+boxster#year_min=2025&year_max=2025)/[Porsche 718 Cayman listings here](https://www.autolist.com/porsche-718+cayman#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 8. Volkswagen Jetta GLI ![2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5K7LhSPEQUOhnlLr1uocXt/272f5dd74ce16ec3defd3051276f6c03/2025_Volkswagen_Jetta_GLI_Exterior.jpg) With the death of the GTI’s manual transmission, Volkswagen lovers have to turn to the Jetta GLI for what they crave. The GLI is essentially the four-door sedan version of the GTI, which is, admittedly, a bit less exciting, but has the ability to conquer multiple tasks. Since the Jetta is one of the larger compact cars on sale, you can easily haul around your small family, and it's small enough to be playful. ![2025 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/o5NSrlMBceJLOcarkvwSH/1a3119e82e8a08fc1f950706cd43511b/2025_Volkswagen_Jetta_GLI_Interior.jpg) It receives a mild exterior and interior refresh for the 2025 model year to keep everything sharp, but its 228-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-four and six-speed manual gearbox remain. As the top trim-level Jetta, the GLI also offers some excellent features for when you're not throwing it around town. Blind-spot monitoring, ventilated front seats, a new-for-2025 eight-inch infotainment display, leather upholstery, and adaptive cruise control are all included. [Browse Volkswagen Jetta GLI listings here](https://www.autolist.com/volkswagen-jetta-gli#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 9. Ford Mustang ![2025 Ford Mustang Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/gegRgnx7UznLqs1ONr5mT/eeef01f59b816fbf1ef90485e4f73f1d/2025_Ford_Mustang_Exterior.jpg) The Chevrolet Camaro saw its final year of life in 2024. Dodge officially killed the Challenger after 2023. The Ford Mustang is all that remains of the American pony cars, and thankfully, the firm is planning to keep the V8 engine and the six-speed manual transmission alive for as long as it can, and the 480-horsepower Mustang GT coupe and convertible models and 500-horsepower Dark Horse models all come with both of those things. ![2025 Ford Mustang Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/32nDhE8Tm7dcDAIGlkf0FR/d34b22608b141e4156eb62e1b8e4ee72/2025_Ford_Mustang_Interior.jpg) Both the GT and the Dark Horse models get their power from a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine. All are rear-wheel drive, but the Dark Horse comes exclusively as a fastback coupe that has more go-fast parts than the GT. The least amount of money to get you that sweet stick shift is $45,560, because the less expensive four-cylinder EcoBoost model has ditched its manual transmission for 2025. After having been redesigned for the 2024 model year, Ford makes no changes to the ‘Stang other than offering a 60th Anniversary Special Edition package on GT coupe and convertible models. With only 1965 examples being available, the window for purchase has closed. [Browse Ford Mustang listings here](https://www.autolist.com/ford-mustang#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 10. Honda Civic Si/Honda Civic Type-R ![2025 Honda Civic Type-R Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/9OUaTzn0QUk0lVqd1OLzf/f4081df0f37bba7f4a8175c5ca9ea6b2/2025_Honda_Civic_Type-R_Exterior.jpg) The Honda Civic Si and Honda Civic Type-R are two of the only models on our list that do not come with an automatic transmission option. They exclusively feature a six-speed manual transmission, so if you want one, you'll have to learn how to drive with three pedals. Both have four doors and front-wheel drive, potentially giving buyers the false impression that they're boring to drive. They are anything but boring. ![2025 Honda Civic Type-R Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2OeyltvE7ddOMooAYyoV9r/8232d74f09fead5bd381ddcdcb979c00/2025_Honda_Civic_Type-R_Interior.jpg) A 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 200 horsepower in Civic Si models, and you might miss that based on its understated exterior. Type-R models feature sportier styling, a 315-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo, and dual-axis front suspension that works hard to prevent torque steer. The less powerful Si is, unsurprisingly, much more affordable than the Type-R, but much more fun to drive than any of the standard Civic models, because none of them are available with a manual transmission anymore. Type-R models are unchanged for 2025, but subtler Si models receive a styling refresh, an updated infotainment system, standard heated seats, a standard 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, retuned suspension, and optional summer tires. [Browse Honda Civic Si](https://www.autolist.com/honda-civic-si#year_min=2025&year_max=2025)/[Honda Civic Type-R listings here](https://www.autolist.com/honda-civic-type+r#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 11. Mazda MX-5 Miata ![2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6c1Dgx13FSI1MJ2x7yO779/f245fdd36ad04ce9a454e9baff74aeeb/2025_Mazda_MX-5_Miata_Exterior.jpg) The Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of the greatest sports cars of all time, thanks to its sharp handling, rear-wheel drive layout, top-down capability, zippy attitude, and affordable price. It only features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 181 horsepower, but its low curb weight makes it feel much quicker than the specs imply. ![2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1ZCtl87QimqSws8mQ27XXY/82c3d6d60d24f26f146d98f8bea3a1fd/2025_Mazda_MX-5_Miata_Interior.jpg) A six-speed manual transmission is standard on each one of the Miata’s trim levels for both the soft-top convertible and the retractable hardtop RF model. The cabin is small, but comes well-appointed with features such as an 8.8-inch infotainment display, Bluetooth, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a six-speaker audio system. You may forget about all of that, though, as you experience driving bliss with the top down on a beautiful summer afternoon. Only one year removed from a mid-cycle refresh, the 2025 Miata will remain unchanged from last year’s model.

It was fully designed for the 2024 model year with fresh powertrain options and a new look, so changes should be minimal for 2025. Thankfully, that change did not include eliminating the available stick shift. ![2025 Toyota Tacoma Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4zl0rZkwPpTMaUzdwUiQ18/6c61af89616a58cfbc2dcc0ef8e1134c/2025_Toyota_Tacoma_Interior.jpg) It is available on the base model SR with the double cab configuration, TRD Sport models, and TRD Off-Road models. Each of these models is fitted with a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 270 horsepower. Despite its new look, feel, and technology features, it is still good to know buyers can get an old-school driving and working experience with the last of a dying breed of pickup trucks. [Browse Toyota Tacoma listings here](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-tacoma#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 13. Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing ![2025 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7ftkJH0Gcj4BMQAcxtyNmT/dbf6bfba29fcbe90b446d8e5d88ff3c7/2025_Cadillac_CT4-V_Blackwing_Exterior.jpg) Cadillac’s CT4 is a compact, entry-level luxury car that does most of what other entry-level luxury cars do. The CT4-V Blackwing is the result of what happens when GM wants to see how fast it can make one. Under its hood lies a twin-turbo V6 that sends 472 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. A six-speed manual transmission is standard. ![2025 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1JfCupM9Nzy0H1fzJxyhaG/0b9b91c4768aac3ae2dd720c2be9aa38/2025_Cadillac_CT4-V_Blackwing_Interior.jpg) Menacing styling, a 0-60 MPH time of around four seconds, and adaptive dampers provide thrilling performance to anybody who drives one, but you'll have to do it quickly as it is not long for this world, at least as a new car. An eight-inch infotainment display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 14-speaker AKG audio system, a 12-inch digital gauge cluster, and heated front seats are also standard for good measure. Beyond a 50-unit Special Edition Petit Pataud-based model being offered for the 2025 model year, the CT4-V Blackwing is not scheduled to receive any changes.

The latest version is simply called the Nissan Z, and part of what continues to make it a beloved sports car is the ability to equip it with a six-speed manual transmission. Both the Sport and Performance trims come with the manual gearbox, and both feature a 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine. The high-performance Nismo version with 420 horsepower, unfortunately, is available only with an automatic transmission. ![2025 Nissan Z Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1HjBql3U7TVrePE2JgDq8m/e95c186fe90a7016f16bf6639dd1db8a/2025_Nissan_Z_Interior.jpg) Another unfortunate feature of the Z is its underwhelming stock exhaust note but, beyond that, it's miles ahead of the 370Z it replaced. An eight-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, blind-spot monitoring, a digital instrument gauge, adaptive cruise control, and sporty styling complement its rear-wheel drive layout to provide buyers with a competent modern sports coupe. No major changes are slated for the Z in 2025. [Browse Nissan Z listings here](https://www.autolist.com/listings#make=Nissan&model=Z&year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 15.

It too is a body-on-frame SUV that comes in a host of configurations, in a choice of two or four doors, and with a ton of extras that can be equipped from the factory to make each one unique. Two different engines are available: a 300-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder and a 330-horsepower twin-turbo V6. A seven-speed manual transmission is available with the former, but not the latter. ![2025 Ford Bronco Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1mYBYyc5409Ut6IFoIPfvR/a16a9394eb1636799bee7cc0d345c5f7/2025_Ford_Bronco_Interior.jpg) Features such as standard four-wheel drive, locking front and rear differentials, sway bar disconnect, and mud-terrain tires can all be fitted for those serious about off-roading, and one difference between the Bronco and Wrangler is the Bronco’s independent front suspension. Even with that, you shouldn't expect the Bronco to feel sharp or refined on the road. A new Stroppe Edition Bronco is being added to the 2025 lineup, but it comes standard with the V6 engine. We don't expect any other major changes to the Bronco lineup, save some potential trim reshuffling. [Browse Ford Bronco listings here](https://www.autolist.com/ford-bronco#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 16. Subaru BRZ/Toyota GR86 ![2025 Subaru BRZ Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5KiRd3JdbjRzezY1QYPkL/f804299edfc4a09d3819c5c4ee959c9e/2025_Subaru_BRZ_Exterior.jpg) The Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 are in the same league as the Mazda MX-5 Miata when it comes to handling. Neither are two-seat roadsters like the MX-5, but they check every box necessary to be true sports cars. They're both rear-wheel drive, have a low curb weight, and a six-speed manual transmission as standard. They even look and feel nearly identical. ![2025 Subaru BRZ Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3vgT4Fj9McH9xmTNeE8Uzn/cd185784d3e1bb2b1941d70823117e21/2025_Subaru_BRZ_Interior.jpg) Both have 228 horsepower, courtesy of the same 2.4-liter flat-four engine, but their quick steering and nimble handling capabilities allow them to take corners faster than some cars with twice their power output and price. Two tiny rear seats give them a small amount of versatility, but where their compact size helps them in the handling department, they are by no means family haulers. For a little over $30,000, you too can bag one of these gems. Subaru has updated the BRZ to feature a “Sport Mode” on manual transmission models and to be quieter inside for 2025. GR86 models benefit from steering, throttle, and suspension updates. Buyers can also purchase a Hakone model that features Brembo brakes, 18-inch wheels, unique color offerings, and of course, a manual transmission.

Acura Integra ![2025 Acura Integra Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/20DnuXGqGtOXXnEbjjm7Jl/b24bc47a22e17919cb9cf681ec60727d/2025_Acura_Integra_Exterior.jpg) The Acura Integra is the Honda Civic’s corporate cousin. Standard models share the Civic Si’s 200-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but buyers have to step up to the sporty A-Spec model to enjoy the benefits of its six-speed manual transmission. The high-performance Acura Integra Type-S also comes with a six-speed manual transmission, but follows the Civic Type-R and features 320 horsepower. ![2025 Acura Integra Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/63ymxAKllBSp6CnJo2WD4G/caba76bdc6e6da3ca29557928d54000f/2025_Acura_Integra_Interior.jpg) Front-wheel drive is standard for both models. A-Spec models benefit from a limited-slip differential, but Type-S models feature fender flares, performance tires, a performance exhaust system, and Brembo brakes to harness all that power. The Integra’s hatchback design opens up cargo space, and its four doors help passengers access the rear seats easily, giving the Integra more than just a performance punch. After only being re-introduced for the 2024 model year after a year-long hiatus, the Integra remains unchanged for 2025.

Mazda Mazda3 ![2025 Mazda3 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5QCXJGGGUyu4JwhxouEBFd/e5bd604cfdb9c1fec748a199d15bc8ad/2025_Mazda3_Exterior.jpg) The Mazda Mazda3 is a sporty compact car with a premium interior, a fun-to-drive demeanor, and sleek styling. Buyers can choose to have it as a four-door sedan or a four-door hatchback, but those who want the six-speed manual transmission must opt for the latter. Furthermore, buyers will have to select the Premium S trim with front-wheel drive to unlock the manual gearbox. ![2025 Mazda3 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2GKkpYbriOriivpgrxZBV7/204affed5075b2f43abe7b1535259344/2025_Mazda3_Interior.jpg) It starts at $30,650 and comes with a 191-horsepower four-cylinder engine that can achieve up to 36 MPG on the highway. Features include adaptive cruise control, adaptive headlights, an 8.8-inch infotainment display, Bluetooth, blind-spot monitoring, driver attention monitoring, and dual-zone climate control. Mazda proves once again that buyers don't need to pay an arm and a leg for a fun-to-drive vehicle with more than 300 horsepower to enjoy the open road. With the manual transmission only available on one trim level, most of the Mazda3’s updates for 2025 pass over the Premium S trim. However, nearly every model benefits from the addition of Alexa Built-In Voice Recognition, including those with a manual transmission.

Toyota GR Supra ![2025 Toyota GR Supra Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5GmMKS3XkeeNVAhWBMAiw1/f90b63b491194b443fa4b0e239af9e91/2025_Toyota_GR_Supra_Exterior.jpg) The Toyota GR Supra is the GR 86’s more grown-up brother. It's based on the BMW Z4, and though it isn't a convertible, it provides buyers with just as much enjoyment as its drop-top cousin. Like the Z4, a six-speed manual transmission is available with the 382-horsepower inline-six turbo. Unlike the Z4, a four-cylinder engine option no longer exists as of 2025, and the manual transmission option is available on both trim levels. ![2025 Toyota GR Supra Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5AEvjY4LGlAme0kvUwAkEs/feb4e58d89dab59177c4b362dc53f4b5/2025_Toyota_GR_Supra_Interior.jpg) That's good news for enthusiasts who yearned for a taste of the iconic Supra during its hiatus and before 2024 when the manual option was not yet a thing. Now, buyers can enjoy rowing their own gears while utilizing the Supra’s rear-wheel drive layout, Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension, chassis bracing, active rear differential, and sub-four-second 0-60 MPH time. [Browse Toyota GR Supra listings here](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-gr+supra#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 20. Subaru WRX ![2025 Subaru WRX Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/q2wpX3MZa11EiUBO2i5ZH/90aba9b20800869c2d0d5450cf72e35f/2025_Subaru_WRX_Exterior.jpg) The Subaru WRX joins the smaller BRZ as the second and only other Subaru model available with a stick shift. Its six-speed manual is available with all but the top-level GT trim, and comes exclusively on the new-for-2025 WRX TS trim level. It has the same 271-horsepower flat-four turbo as the other trim levels, but features extra goodies such as Brembo brakes, adaptive dampers, and gold brake calipers. ![2025 Subaru WRX Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5AzAXY9UtiCSBmV88CLLAP/0468c9313e389099359baf12825d576e/2025_Subaru_WRX_Interior.jpg) This does not mean other models in the lineup don't look sporty, because all of them feature a striking headlight design, a hood scoop, and imitation carbon fiber interior trim. The WRX can also settle down when its power isn't needed—the ride is comfortable for a sporty car—and an 11.6-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto are standard as, naturally, is Subaru’s full-time Symmetrical AWD system. [Browse Subaru WRX listings here](https://www.autolist.com/subaru-impreza+wrx#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 21. Porsche 911 ![2025 Porsche 911 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3SlhjsVU7GBvADkg9L1DSv/6ddadec44fdfb8c0b6c7f70c44d3f1dc/2025_Porsche_911_Exterior.jpg) The Porsche 911 may be considered a supercar by some, but that doesn't mean it can't have a manual transmission, and both the Carrera T and the Carrera T Cabriolet models have an available stick shift. Both come with a 3.0-liter turbocharged flat-six engine that sends 388 horsepower to the rear wheels, and the 502-horsepower 911 GT3 also sports a six-speed manual transmission, but it is more track-focused than its less powerful sibling. ![2025 Porsche 911 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/799Zu1UWmDvBL6YBdaOV01/2ed58b8d8c5d2927babdb387972bf916/2025_Porsche_911_Interior.jpg) Regardless of your 911 of choice, you will be expected to shell out more than $130,000 to get one, and GT3 models cost well over $200,000. Despite its high performance, the 911 is quite refined and is known as a usable supercar thanks to its 2+2 seating layout. Of course, the cabriolet provides the extra ability to cruise in the sunshine with the top down. Each model benefits from a minor styling revision for 2025 as well as an available digital gauge cluster. GT3 models get the same front fascia refresh as the other 911 models, but those changes are bolstered by suspension upgrades, a final drive ratio adjustment, and some updated interior materials. [Browse Porsche 911 listings here](https://www.autolist.com/porsche-911#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 22. BMW M2 ![2025 BMW M2 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5mWsh9A51QTgyciIw0yGN4/2750afe7f6394e527104f116f200efc9/2025_BMW_M2_Exterior.jpg) The M2 is perhaps the purest of the current BMW M cars on sale today. It's the smallest, the most nimble, the simplest, and the least serious of the bunch. Even though it looks a little odd, part of its charm is its six-speed manual gearbox. It still packs a punch with its sonorous 473-horsepower twin-turbocharged inline-six engine, but it feels true to M cars of the past, a feeling that others have said is lost with models such as the current M3, M4, and M5. ![2025 BMW M2 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/34EBzrl90qzErX0JPZD49u/5c07507e52a8e7e6b7c075ebf76e5419/2025_BMW_M2_Interior.jpg) As a small two-door coupe, it's not as practical as the larger four-door M3, but still has a ton of features, including BMW’s iDrive 8.5 infotainment system, which has been added for the 2025 model year. It's accompanied by luxuries such as a 14.9-inch digital gauge cluster, adaptive cruise control, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and adjustable ambient lighting. A new flat-bottomed steering wheel, a heated steering wheel option, new interior trim options, available M Carbon bucket seats from the previous Carbon Package, and various new paint finishes accompany the M2’s infotainment updates for 2025. [Browse BMW M2 listings here](https://www.autolist.com/bmw-m2#year_min=2025&year_max=2025). --- ### 23. Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing ![2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2fjpd1xcDKnZigzQpBI9Ug/d54edef0ff5fa1beda24910f5d5dfdfd/2025_Cadillac_CT5-V_Blackwing_Exterior.jpg) If you thought the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing was impressive, the CT5-V Blackwing is even more so. Its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine produces 668 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful sedans on sale. We're thrilled that so much power can be harnessed by a six-speed manual transmission, and graciously, Cadillac shares our sentiment. ![2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4XkcYGhhtloZmDZVZmRNbc/a75b1e9b6390b61a5e2f1e315049b353/2025_Cadillac_CT5-V_Blackwing_Interior.jpg) Features such as launch control, line lock, and a beefy traction management system are usually reserved for drag racers, not classy luxury sedans, but the CT5-V Blackwing has those, too. Sure, it has four doors, seating for five, magnetic ride control technology, and nearly 38 inches of rear legroom, but nobody ever said transporting your family had to be a boring affair. The CT5-V Blackwing will ensure that you get to any location in style and with pizzazz. It sees a similar fascia refresh as the standard CT5 model but with more aggressive elements consistent with its performance credentials. A new 33-inch display graces its dashboard, and it comes with new Google-based infotainment software and track-focused apps that buyers can use to view its full performance potential. A rear spoiler tops off the list of the CT5-V Blackwing’s rather extensive list of changes for 2025.
