Who still drives a stick in 2025?

[ultrarunner]

I have one car that is right hand drive and a stick…

Never have gotten use to driving from the right side…

Three manuals in the stable now. An 87 Brat with dual range 4-speed and a 98 Z3 and a 2000 328Ci, both with 5-speeds.

I should update my list to include Nissan Versa as the base model is available with a manual. Camaro is not made anymore and Mustang manual is only available in the $50K GT which is a little more than I want to spend. I drove a Subaru WRX a few years ago and felt it was a little too noisy and harsh riding for a daily driver. I should check out the Toyoya/Subaru GR86 but it doesn't get that good of mpg and requires premium to boot. There's Hyundai Elantra N but its 19", 35 series tires would be horrible on the rough roads around here and 23 mpg combined is pretty low.

Might I suggest this?

Mazda MX5 Miata

Quite a bit of fun.

Last sthick shift I had I got rid of in 2020, was a 1990 VW Jetta Diesel with 59Hp.

My fleet,
1998 S10 standard cab 4x4 manual (Not factory, I put it in)
1998 S10 standard cab 2x4 manual
2000 S10 ZR2 standard cab 4x4 manual
2000 S10 Blazer 2 door 4x4 manual
2007 Jinma 284 manual
2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP manual
2000 Harley Electra

Yeah, if you can't tell, I'm not a fan of fluid drive.
1000 miles every month, never even think that shifting is a bother, in fact I feel that a stick makes you more aware of your driving.

Thanks, they are fun in fact I had a 1999 Miata and sold it because, for me, it wasn't that good as a daily driver. Ingress and egress was a little difficult then LOL and now 26 years later probably more so. It had limited room inside and a very small trunk, it was geared tight so spinning pretty fast at highway speed, mpg wasn't that great, and it was very noisy. And not nearly as fun as a motorcycle. But I'll at least look at the new Miata.
Another one I should check out is a GR Corolla.

Don't think I've seen a RH drive vehicle in many, many years. For a couple years in the 90s (?) a lot of mailmen seemed to have RH drive Suburus. Apparently, they didn't stand up well, because they weren't around long.

Curiously, are the pedals the same configuration as with LH drive or do you have to learn to clutch with your right foot?

I hear ya, I felt like I'd turned in my man card first time I bought a vehicle with an automatic, but I got over it. Good thing, sticks aren't even offered in anything that interests me.

It’s mostly shifting with my left hand and the view looking at the mirrors and being nervous about lane position relative to the center of the road…

Here is a picture just like my 1938 Morris and the only right hand dive with a steering wheel I own. 3 speed manual it has.

Technically my 1905 Olds 2 speed is also right hand drive because driver sits on the right…

Morris

Not your Father’s Olds
