No argument that many things are just better when faster or more efficient, especially when it comes to things that are or are like work.

I would love to see the 2-series coupe come with a manual in all engine trims. That is the closest we will ever get to a traditional BMW sports coupe and the manual would be a huge benefit to enthusiast at all pricepoints, even in the lowest-powered Euro trims.

Electric cars.

fucking all of them. i dont care if its faster and gets higher gas mileage. its not better. give them a 10% credit on cafe numbers for manual transmission cars. 

It’s a big, dumb, fun hoonmobile, if they can give the Challenger a 6-speed option, the Charger deserves it too. At least the aftermarket facilitates that, if you’re dead set on it.

Any car that I didn’t know how to drive, but felt reading up on it would help.

Besides every Subaru I’d say every Honda. The hrv would be such a more pleasant cuv if you could get the 1.5 turbo with AWD and a stick. Hell even the base (only) engine would be better with a manual.

I think you’ve stumbled upon a website that isn’t for you.

Androids still have manual focus modes available. This is a shit tier take

I’d love to see a manual in the AWD versions of the Vibe/Matrix twins. Yes, you can find a stick in the FWD forms of these cars, but AWD and three pedals would make these small, practical wagons an ideal kid-out-of-town-for-school-in-snow-country vehicle.

Basically any of the Subarus besides the WRX and BR-Z.

Any and all cars with a CVT. Sure, I get that it is a viable, if not at all desirable, alternative to an automatic with normal gears. But please, if you are going to stuff one of those droning slushboxes into your powertrain, at least have the decency to give us another (better) option.

I don’t really disagree with most of your points...my point is that many of the benefits have been neutralized due to the terrible car market.

Because this is a car and auto-enthusiasts’ website and if it wasn’t mentioned, we’d all be asking. Knowing what car lets us paint a picture of what happened, what the fuel lines would’ve looked like, where he was in his shop, what era of fuel delivery he was dealing with...

Perhaps a massive wave of repossessions will help with the low inventory.

I disagree with the headline.

“There’s also the question of whether to charge drivers of heavier vehicles more per mile than those driving lighter cars. After all, the heavier a vehicle is, the more damage it does to the roads. But just because it’s the correct thing to do from a financial perspective doesn’t mean it would be politically viable.”

If Honda still sold the Fit, I’d drive one. Would meet my std day-to-day needs quite nicely. As it is, I have a Civic sedan - so not too much bigger.

I like cars and I don’t care.
