Jim L Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 according to two different nissan dealers I called. I'm looking to get into a suv with a manual and basically have three options. FJ, Wrangler Unlimited, Xterra. I just can't believe there isn't one in the whole country available. I have to order and that is 6-8 weeks (doesn't really bother me) but damn!!! Maybe its the last year for a manual in xterra. Damn we are getting lazy in this country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think the Cayenne comes with a 6MT as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim L Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 so how does that work with a trade in and also negotiating when you have to order a car? All my new cars have come from dealer stock. Should I assume I'll have to pay msrp since they have to order it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Not at all - it works the same, but the dealer will moan and groan first. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camber Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 BMW X3 comes with a 6MT as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim L Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 BMW X3 comes with a 6MT as well. I'm aware of other car cuv that come in a manual but wanted something a little more robust offroad, personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Loser If you want support at gerald in Naperville let me know - I once brought my new Nissan that I bought at another dealer there just to show the sales manager Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, well maybe not the X3 then. Sorry, I was just throw off by this statement, "I'm looking to get into a suv with a manual and basically have three options." FWIW, the Cayenne/Touareg are pretty capable offroad but can get pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optyks Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I had the same issue, though with my Subie not with an SUV.I *really* wanted a 5MT legacy sedan, but there weren't ANY non turbo models ANYWHERE around, so I settled for the 08 2.5i 5 door. it was a sad, sad day. I still love my 5 door girl, but i would have chosen a leggy over her if they'd only had a manual 07-08! Do people not like driving manuals anymore? are more and more people becoming too lazy? Are car manufacturers just giving up? i can't stand driving auto's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sdrvr Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm aware of other car cuv that come in a manual but wanted something a little more robust offroad, personal preference. H3 comes in a 5M, but they are not common either. If you can get past the mall poseur image they are quite capable off road. Especially the off-road version with 4:1 low range, 285's and electric locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
