The 2021 Mini Cooper will offer a manual transmission again, after the 2020 model had to go without a stick shift due to problems certifying that powertrain.

The 2024 Hardtop and Convertible return with more standard features, trim options and available manual transmissions.

Ferrari has not ruled out a future Icona model getting an iconic gated manual shifter, the brand's first on offer since 2012.

Mini announced the return of the stick shift to a couple cars in its 2021 lineup after a brief hiatus for model-year 2020.
