The world of cars is changing. Modern cars have never been so well thought out, filled with technology interior and transmission. However, the race to reduce emissions means that electric cars and hybrids are starting to dominate the new car market with their automatic gearboxes, meaning that the old three-pedal manual gearboxes are fast becoming obsolete. So are there any new cars with three pedals available for sale today?
Well, yes, they are, but they’re few and far between, and we’ve picked out the best cars on sale today that still come with a manual transmission.
Honda Civic Type R
Honda Civic Type R The Honda Civic Type R is one of the best and fastest hot hatchbacks out there, and with the last model coming in 2022, this latest version of the FL5 is one of the best examples.
The Civic’s design won’t appeal to everyone, but its large rear spoiler, large alloy wheels and widened wheel arches make this car mean. Inside, you have red bucket seats and a sports steering wheel. However, the smooth, short six-speed manual gearbox makes this car a true driver. It’s a smooth gearbox that’s rewarding to use – making the Civic Type R one of the best driver-focused hatchbacks on the market.

For 2024, Toyota has given the car a whole host of upgrades to make this pint-sized pocket rocket even better, but one of the best parts of the raw driving experience is the short-throw six-speed manual gearbox. It’s so fun to use that you end up changing gear for the sheer fun of it. Already seen as a future classic, the GR Yaris is one of those cars that needs to be driven to appreciate the engineering that has gone into making it one of the most popular hatchbacks of the 21st century.
