I pulled the trigger! - 6-spd Manual 2020 Corolla SE Sedan

Congrats on the new car purchase! Thank you for continuing to purchase manual transmission vehicles. I'm not sure we can change the manufacturer's minds at this point, but every one sold is a message that not everyone wants a CVT forced upon them. I just get bored driving our Camry(still a great car however), but my Echo always gives me a smile when I can downshift to pass or roll backwards when somebody gets too close at a stop

I just enjoy driving manuals too much to give them up quite yet, even in my 50's. I've never own an automatic, so have been driving manuals since 1982. It's second nature to drive one, & I love the feeling of extra control that you have over the engine/car in general.
