Plus 8 other non-new manuals.

Yes, I'm aware that I have a problem.

I can't justify the price of a new car, so zero. But if the Jeep breaks again that number will become one when I buy a new Bronco and if I like the way it drives.

The only way to #savethemanuals is the buy one new. I fully realize that. But damn cars are expensive for your average guy.

I've only bought 1 new (2003 Forester) with a manual, 1 that was only 1 year old 1999 ranger), then the other 6 with manuals were all well used. 

I've bought 3 new with autos with the most recent less than a month ago. 

So I'm no helping, but hoping it's still an option in the 2026/2027 wrangler or bronco. 

Zero but I've never bought a new car. 

So far we have only bought one vehicle new, and it being a minivan, is an automatic. 
 

My dad has bought mom more than a few new cars, hers are all automatics, but to my recollection only 2 of his cars were purchased new, one of which was a stick. 

I unfortunately just can't afford a new car, otherwise I'd own a new manual vehicle. 

Does a new manual racing transmission that costs more than many used cars count?

Zero, the only two new cars I've ever purchased were autos. I've bought a total of 6 used manual transmission cars.

New?

2013 Mustang GT 

2015 BRZ 

And at some point this winter or next year I'll buy a new GR86, STi, 400Z or some other manual performance vehicle.

I'm at 100%, with 1, a 2007 Rx-8.  I'm hoping to maintain that % when I pick up a Mx-5 RF this year if things go well.

Four:

1995 Chevy S10

1999 Jeep Cherokee

2003 Nissan Maxima

2007 Subaru WRX

Fiat 128 (2 door)

1986 Saab 900

1995 Toyota 4-Runner.

2009 VW Jetta

not new, but my current truck is a 2007 Frontier V-6 6speed.

I've bought one car new - a 2021 Miata RF - and it has a manual.

Ive only bought one brand new vehicle, and that is my daily driver 2010 Yaris.  Out of my 7 vehicles, only 2 are automatic, my Highlander and my 1uz swap Malibu, but I still plan to put a manual transmission in that once its running and all ironed out

Of the 60+ vehicles I've purchased in my life only one was new.  1991 Eclipse with a stick shift.

(And I truly regretted it as a financial decision.   My money would have been much smarter spent on a used car and no payments.)

1990 Miata

2002 Mazda Protege

2013 FRS

So all of them. 

I've only bought 1 brand new car.  My Nissan frontier.

Wanted a manual.  Got a crazy deal on the automatic. 

Sooo, none.

Number of vehicles I have bought new with manual transmissions?  1

Number of vehicles I have bought new in my lifetime? Also 1

New

1981 X11 Citation

1985 Dodge GLH

2003 VW Jetta

2013 Mini Cooper S

New to me 

22  - Mostly TRs

Just 1--- the 2012 Fiat 500. Also the only new car I've ever bought.

Of the 5 new vehicles we've ever purchased 2 have been manual: '09 Tacoma (6-speed) and a '11 Mazda2 (5-speed). Sadly both of those have moved on to new owners.

2008 Ford Focus 

2011 Ford Ranger 

2013 Focus ST

2014 Fiesta ST (Wait..that was slightly used)

2020 Genesis G70

I have only ever bought two  new vehicles and one was a manual 1997 Impreza.  I leased an auto SAAB in 2007.

6 of 15 cars that I have owned were std. SWMBO won't drive stick.

None, but I've never bought a new car at all. Only leased one, once. It wasn't a manual, to be fair.
