They missed the BMW 3/4 series. That's still available with a stick.

I'm back to the point where I can drive a manual again (had a small muscle tear in a bad spot), so I'm anxious. Only problem is that my daughter is going to be driving, and my son not far behind, which pretty well puts the cabbash on anything with 3 pedals. Maybe a cheap, used Miata on the side...

Teach your kids to drive stick…

Buy a $500 VW Beetle for the training sessions and sell it when done...

I see the M versions listed, but not the more plebeian models.

Why wouldn't you teach them to drive a stick? "Kid, you wanna drive? You gotta learn to drive a stick."

Why buy another car specifically for this? I've never understood. The realistic worst that can happen is a little extra wear on the clutch, so maybe you might have to replace it a few months earlier than you otherwise would have. And if it's a newish car and you post here, odds are pretty good you'll be long done with the car before you get there anyway. I mean, I gues if you're an absolute horrible teacher you could let you student fuck it up quick, but come on...
