I believe less than 15% of models have a manual option and I think actual sales of manuals is down around 5% of all sales. Special ordering one is probably the only way you're going to find one.Steve

DW's Elantra (2007) was sold to her sister in 2016, who still drives it daily, and to my knowledge it's not had a single big repair... Just regular maintenance, tires, etc. Same story with my 2006 Civic, never had a problem with it until I moved overseas in 2010 & sold it to a friend, who still drives it today with no problems. My 2012 Golf TDI was part of VW's Diesel-gate scandal, so they bought that back from me in 2017 & I replaced it with the 2017 Golf TSI (gasser). It's only a few years old, but no repairs besides regular maintenance.
