    Most car people will tell you a manual transmission is the only correct way to drive a car. But what if we told you that some of the best cars ever built were never offered with a stick? This is a list of 13 undeniably great cars that NEVER came with a stick shift.

    Here’s why I love Donut Media;
    While there are lots of car shows I thoroughly enjoy watching, it’s only Donut that I can count on almost every day of the week. After a long day at work, I know I can get home and have James or Nolan or Zach or Jerry waiting for me with 20 minutes of relaxing entertainment and education. I have never watched 1 lap race in my life, but Nolan’s excitement about it puts me in a good mood. So many cars James likes I think are butt ugly but it doesn’t matter because his joy with them is contagious. Jerry is the goofiest most entertaining engineer I’ve ever watched. And while Zach is a fantastic mechanic from whom I always seem to learn something, his Miata pain hits hard. His wins and losses with it take me high and low.
    To all the guys and Joes at Donut Media, thanks for doing what you do and keep the great content coming!

      Yeah makes sense Suby box's are notoriously weak although fun when stopped and shut for a quick spell of rwd drifties just keep it under 300hp . That's the best thing about living in New Zealand we get all the jap imports. Got a mate with 13 gtr skylines cracks me up when I see Americans flipping out over a gtr. We also got the holden with the 3 litre stroker bottom end hence Rips megawatt (1000kw or 1200 ish hp) build is from new zealand. Made a rips build with 37psi of boost for donuts one night best 10 minute donut machine ever till the re-used head studs stretched but it was just r32 coupe a three litre bottom end and a gtr head and nismo bigbox used to trash 1 a week building drift missiles for the local drifters them and c32 lorries so it was literally a leftover parts bin car lol I shudder to think what it would be worth now lol.

The one year only 1991 Audi 200 20V (5-Cylinder Turbo Quattro) and subsequent 1992-1995 1/2 S4 Models were also only fitted with a 5-Speed Manual Transmission. Randy

    Wow, I really did not expect to see my car on this list! And yes, I really with that my LS400 came with a manual! The closest I get is the updated gated-style PRND32L shifter on my '95 where I can shift down from 4th to 3rd, or from 3rd to 2nd, but I can't keep the car in 1st, and I can't force it to upshift.

    The thing people forget about manuals is that , when treated properly with accurate shifting, including minimal slippage of the clutch in and out , they can last a very long time. This is something that's always an unknown with almost any automated transmission. They do a job that is complex and and they are complex compared with a manual, thus much more prone to failier than manuals treated properly. Then, when they need repair, look out, because it will be expensive. Manuals are much simpler and easier to repair, almost always. Another tidbit for thought: Most modern vehicles have electric rack and pinion steering. In times past and the few that still use hydraulic systems, if you lost power steering, you would still be able to steer the vehicle with extra effort and get off the road safely. With electric steering, my experience with auction sale vehicles driven on a large lot, is that if you loose voltage to the rack or it has some other issue preventing the electric motor from working, you WILL NOT be able to turn the steering wheel at all. This is a potentially dangerous situation in modern steering design. Be aware. I had close calls with vehicles when power(12V) was lost. and almost hit cars because I could not steer. Peace.
