If you passed Andrew Comrie-Picard on the road in his home city of Los Angeles, you’d never guess his odometer frequently tips above 100 mph. “I drive really slow on normal roads,” says the rally racer turned stunt driver, “and I’m always the person to let someone else merge in. I don’t have to drive fast because I get my stimulation elsewhere.”  By elsewhere, Comrie-Picard is referring to the places his career as a professional driver has taken him — speed competitions, off-road driving, sets for big action films, and even the North Pole.

The new manual-transmission car is a rare breed these days. Given that there’s no substitute for that connected feeling when rowing through the gears yourself, it’s worth seeking out what’s still available with a manual gearbox on the U.S. market today. Though there is some hope in Toyota’s dreams of a stick-shift EV, we might be seeing the twilight years of rowing your own gears in a new vehicle. We know that the average commuter will hardly appreciate it, but we still care. We know there are still purists who prefer the stick shift for its simplicity and engagement. This year…
