Then obviously, you haven't spent enough time in my driveway. We had a
heluva time getting our dealer to find us a manual Accord. They were terribly
afraid that they would somehow get stuck with it! The Accord makes our 6 th FWD
manual over the last 3 decades. (Champ, Mirage, 2 Neons, Civic, Accord)

Of all my front drive vehicles,(including those my daughter drives)
I've had - lets see- Mini, Peugot, Tercel, Rabbit, colt, Lebaron, New
Yorker, TransSport, Renault, Neon, and Mystique and only the Lebaron,
New Yorker, TransSport and Mystique have been automatics.
Out of 11 cars, 4 automatics and 7 standards.

We had a VW bug that we ran until the floor rusted out. You could actually
put your feet all the way down on to the road if you were in the backseat.
Had to put in plywood for a new floor.
