QUOTE (IHeartMyRedCar @ Jul 27 2012, 11:04 AM)  approximately 10,000 automatics to 1 manual for the new elantras. There are 251 manual transmission new Elantras on autotrader right now. I know Hyundai is doing well, but I seriously doubt that they made 251,000 Elantras in 2012. -------------------- 2000 Elantra

I'm looking for '12 sales figures now. -------------------- A proud member of the club.

QUOTE (IHeartMyRedCar @ Jul 27 2012, 11:04 AM) At the dealership yesterday, I was talking with the salesman and he said the ratio is approximately 10,000 automatics to 1 manual for the new elantras. Amanda I think he may have exaggerated a bit. .0001% seems impossibly low. --------------------  |

I had to drive to the other side of Baltimore to find the nearest Elantra with a manual transmission.
Reading this thread makes me realize how rare it is to have a 2013 with a manual. I feel like a special snowflake! But on a more serious note, I'm concerned that selling this car to a private party (if need be) will be difficult for this reason. As someone stated above, can you find a minivan with a manual tranny? This is a compact, practical car, not a sports car. I do worry if I'd be able to find a buyer of this car with a manual. Hopefully I'll have my job and the car until it's paid off, and then this will be a non-issue, but I always like to think about what I would do if sh*t hit the fan and I had to sell the car. (I wouldn't sell the S2000 in this scenario: it's paid off, has a lot of mileage, has some cosmetic imperfections that don't bother me, and is worth way more to me than to anyone else). -------------------- 2013 Elantra w/Clutch, Silver (Daily Driver)

believe it to be the opposite.
the manuals get better gas mileage, lower cost of ownership - which makes them scarce. -------------------- 2014 Veloster Turbo - racecar

How about the Mazda 5 minivan. They come in 5 and 6-speeds.
 The first gen MPV came with a manual, so did the 91-93 Toyota Previa, Chevrolet Astro Van, Ford Aerostar.. -------------------- 2000 Elantra
