4 Door Sedans With Manual Transmission
Seem to be a dying breed.
 Other than the higher end of the spectrum, there's really not many choices (at least any cars we like). I've been looking around at various models/manufacturers and it seems electronic transmission with paddle shifters are dominant. Pretty disheartening - guess when we are ready to sell the Altima and get a new car in a couple of years we'll be upgrading. Who has a late model sedan with manual transmission - what do you have? |

We have a Subaru Legacy sedan with a manual transmission. Love that car.

 My first though too I know you said NOT the higher end.....But you can get the 3 series and 5 series BMW's in stick all day long. Used of course...I'd never buy a new "luxury" vehicle http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/ctd/3376753040.html http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/3290700773.html

I said BMW because I know you can get any of their models (unsure of the SUV's) in manual tranny
Not sure Lexus has ANY 4 doors in manual (except the IS), and Infinity is questionable. I KNOW you can get several acura's in Manual though. Are you gonna buy new this time?

If you call my 2006 BMW "late model".......But anyways, the shifter is OK but very long-throw.......Also the armrest hits my elbow because of the guido low-slung seating position.
Infiniti, the only one with a stick is going to be the G37.......same motor as you already have Get a TL or TSX, imo... |
