What Car Would You Buy if You Could Get it With a Manual Transmission?

From Road & Track

There are a few cars out there that would be perfect with a manual transmission-but for one reason or another, they were only offered with an automatic. These cars usually check all the boxes, save for the most important one-having a stick to shift yourself.

For me, it's the Alfa Romeo 4C. It's a raw, visceral mid-engine sports car with a carbon-fiber body, a loud turbocharged engine, and manual steering. But instead of putting a manual shifter between the seats, Alfa decided to drop in a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. The 4C is still a great car, but I have a feeling it'd be perfect with a third pedal in the footwell.

Now we want to know: What car would you buy if only it offered a manual transmission? It doesn't have to be a new car, or even a sports car. It just has to be a car that wasn't available with a stick from the factory. Let us know in the comments below.
