Just like how manual cars became anti theft.
My friend has his Kia broken into and started, but it’s a standard so they ditched it hahaha
That's if you can find one for an affordable price.
right before the used car market exploded i got my manual Subaru for $3400 when it was worth about 10-12k because of a misfire. yeah it just had the wrong spark plugs in it :p and it's about as dumb as they come. it has a radio, abs, and cruise control - no other driving assists or telemetry
I got a decent manual for about $12k back in February. And it was one of three on the lot I was there to look at all around that price: A GTI, a WRX, and a Mini.
I went with the GTI
The fun tax is real... except unllike the poster below, I was looking for a Base model Subaru and not the WRX (even though the WRX is a bucket list car)
Huh?
most car thiefs can't drive a manual transmission
Oh right in the USA there are mostly automatic cars
Manual transmission is an anti theft device because car jackers can only drive automatic
