[QUOTE="bucky, post: 1291984, member: 10588"] Subaru still sells a few new manual Imprezas in the US, or at least they still did in 2019, but yes, new manual transmissions are very rare here. According to the car freaks I work with there's no reason to buy manual anymore because modern automatics have overtaken all the advantages in control, reliability, and gas mileage that you used to get with manual. I drove manual most of my life but got tired of getting stuck in rush hour traffic with them. Also, you can operate an automatic if you break your left foot (that happened to one of my friends once and since she had a stick shift, she couldn't drive her car until it healed). Incidentally, I bought a new 2019 Subaru with adaptive cruise control a few months ago. It's heaven in rush hour traffic because it does all the braking for you. Highly recommended. [/QUOTE]
