Which big sedan comes with manual transmission
Preferable 2006 or newer

I am looking at
Cadilac CTS
Hyundai Genesis
BMW 5 series
Mercedes E class
Infinity M35

but not all the above comes with manual transmission

I am looking for basic front engine rear wheel manual transmission large / full size sedan

what's your suggestion

[smoothie.]

2001 e39 m5, otherwise, what's the point of manual?

[kwy]

CTS-V comes with a 6spd, iirc. No auto option.

E60 M5 is offered with a 6spd as well. Probably your best bet in this segment.

[Kidnapman]

^^ Yea M5 gets my vote too. Have fun if shit hits the fan tho.

[bcrdukes]

I had no idea the E Class was available in manual. :confused:

[CorneringArtist]

If you can find one, a Pontiac G8 GXP can fill that bill. It's a domestic, but has an LS3, and is pretty much a Holden Commodore.

g8 gxp never sold in canada and rare as hell and expensive if they ever come up for sale, and less than half were even manual.

full size - cant think of any. maybe an older 735i

Mid-size: cts-v or cts 2.8 v6, 5 series/m5, possibly some A6s, accords, mazda 6, passat, legacy... probably some other more obscure vehicles.

CTS-V has automatic, it's not a fancy one though and could shift faster. Not bad but I'd prefer manual

You're pretty limited though if you're shopping in north america for a midsize sedan with manual, there's not much point to it. Even if a car is available with a manual it'd be hard to find one that actually has it in that segment

A6, Passat, Legacy, Mazda6 etc AREN'T RWD lmao.

[dared3vil0]

And a G37 Sedan 6MT would be my suggestion.

[Kidnapman]

G37 seems more midsize than full size

[AW607]

Hyundai Genesis sedans do not come with a manual gearbox as far as I know; 6 speed manual transmissions are only available in the Coupe... Otherwise I'd like an E39 M5

Both first gen and 2d gen CTSV have the option of a 6spd Tremec manual, but the second gen also offers a 6spd auto. First gen only came with the 6spd.

[smarv]

M3 sedans come in manual other than that subaru sti or mitsubishi evo is all that comes to mind.

[hkRicer]

I will pick either M or Genesis

[kwy]

We're talking full size, not compact and midsize executives.

[Timpo]

I know it's a bit old for you but 1996-2001 Toyota Chaser.

They had both 4WD and RWD variants with 5sp manual.
I know you might think it's too old, but Chaser is known for being very fast for a sedan and its got a bullet proof engine.
It's pretty common to see Chasers pushing 600hp-1,000hp.

Some of you have no idea what full size sedan means.. lol if M3 or sti is a full size sedan then the 7 is a truck?

the ratios didnt feel right when I drove it.

They just used the e39 tranny.

[radioman]

Don't think genesis comes in manual. New ones have 8 speed auto.

[beproud]

What's your budget? Because the cts v sedan is pretty sweet eh. Also if you want even more room, there is the cts v wagon=p

This.

I mean come on, let's be realistic, what reasons would you have for not wanting to drive something that sounds this bloody awesome? If not a GXP, even a GT will more than suffice.

Too bad the new Ford Tauraus SHO doesn't come in stick.

[Slow63]

for me.. get a used E60 M5 with Eisenmann exhaust for sure.. they depreciated a lot since the f10 came out; now they're more reasonable priced

I'd get this :sweetjesus:

[valent|n0]

if price is not an issue Base BWM F10 with manual transmission would be golden

to bad manual transmission is a dying breed ...

Power is not top priority here... even an under power car can give a lot enjoyment of driving when fitted with a proper manual transmission

i see what he did there :troll:

[bcrdukes]

Rare and a bit of an oddball, but how about a Mazda Speed 6 in manual AWD?

[tofu1413]

then theres the legacy GT...

the new ones are quite big! (although quite ugly)

[oldsnail]

SAAB 9-5, it is 4wd though.. but they were offered with a 6 speed during its EOL evolution.

[kwy]

I wouldn't doubt it. They probably would've stuck with the SMG as the only option if people didn't really demand the manual option. The F10 M5 though is a mechanic work of art and better than the E60 M5 in every way.

And lol, people failing Timpo even though his posts weren't that bad. I think everyones just in the habit of failing Timpo because he's Timpo.

[68style]

GXP for sure, I don't even like domestics that much but it's no contest... that kind of power and that much car... and someone said they're expensive? No way... you can easily get one for $30k taxes in. Think about what $30k taxes in gets you new... Honda Civic? Base model Acura ILX? Stripped down Golf? A nice Corolla? Or would you rather have a 4 year old 415hp (under-rated) sedan that makes the earth tremble every time it starts? Your call :)

Heck, even that E39 M5 is $30k and it's 10 years old......... don't get me wrong, E39 M5 is one of my favourite cars of all time, but they're not exactly a cheap endeavour from an ownership perspective (not that any BMW is).

I have a friend that bought two of those brand new.
There is a good they deppreicate heavily....they are absolute pieces of garbage with horrible build quality.

AVOID IT!
