It is very difficult to find manual transmission in a passenger car in the US now. I would like one but good luck finding what you want used. Even new, very few models have a manual option. And I think it costs more for a manual transmission now. It used to be cheaper.

I could barely find any sticks when I was car shopping, and they were all base models. I finally found a dealer with a manual Impreza but it was actually more expensive than the automatic next to it with a sunroof and heated seats

Your luck may change... Way back when I was car shopping I found a used BMW 328i with the sport package discounted because they couldn't find a buyer who knew how to drive a manual. I have been driving that car for 12 years now.

I didn't say it was cheap.
