Which big sedan comes with manual transmission
Preferable 2006 or newer

Hyundai Genesis
BMW 5 series
Mercedes E class

but not all the above comes with manual transmission

I am looking for basic front engine rear wheel manual transmission large / full size sedan

2001 e39 m5, otherwise, what's the point of manual?

kwy 02-26-2013 02:27 PM

CTS-V comes with a 6spd, iirc. No auto option.

E60 M5 is offered with a 6spd as well. Probably your best bet in this segment.

Kidnapman 02-26-2013 02:28 PM

^^ Yea M5 gets my vote too. Have fun if shit hits the fan tho.

bcrdukes 02-26-2013 02:30 PM

I had no idea the E Class was available in manual. :confused:

If you can find one, a Pontiac G8 GXP can fill that bill. It's a domestic, but has an LS3, and is pretty much a Holden Commodore.

g8 gxp never sold in canada and rare as hell and expensive if they ever come up for sale, and less than half were even manual.

full size - cant think of any. maybe an older 735i

Mid-size: cts-v or cts 2.8 v6, 5 series/m5, possibly some A6s, accords, mazda 6, passat, legacy... probably some other more obscure vehicles.

CTS-V has automatic, it's not a fancy one though and could shift faster. Not bad but I'd prefer manual

You're pretty limited though if you're shopping in north america for a midsize sedan with manual, there's not much point to it. Even if a car is available with a manual it'd be hard to find one that actually has it in that segment

A6, Passat, Legacy, Mazda6 etc AREN'T RWD lmao.

dared3vil0 02-26-2013 02:36 PM

And a G37 Sedan 6MT would be my suggestion.

Kidnapman 02-26-2013 02:38 PM

G37 seems more midsize than full size

AW607 02-26-2013 02:52 PM

Hyundai Genesis sedans do not come with a manual gearbox as far as I know; 6 speed manual transmissions are only available in the Coupe... Otherwise I'd like an E39 M5

Both first gen and 2d gen CTSV have the option of a 6spd Tremec manual, but the second gen also offers a 6spd auto. First gen only came with the 6spd.

smarv 02-26-2013 03:07 PM

M3 sedans come in manual other than that subaru sti or mitsubishi evo is all that comes to mind.

hkRicer 02-26-2013 03:45 PM

I will pick either M or Genesis

kwy 02-26-2013 04:14 PM

We're talking full size, not compact and midsize executives.

Timpo 02-26-2013 05:01 PM

I know it's a bit old for you but 1996-2001 Toyota Chaser.

They had both 4WD and RWD variants with 5sp manual.
I know you might think it's too old, but Chaser is known for being very fast for a sedan and its got a bullet proof engine.
It's pretty common to see Chasers pushing 600hp-1,000hp.

the ratios didnt feel right when I drove it.

They just used the e39 tranny.

radioman 02-26-2013 07:01 PM

Don't think genesis comes in manual. New ones have 8 speed auto.

beproud 02-26-2013 08:42 PM

What's your budget? Because the cts v sedan is pretty sweet eh. Also if you want even more room, there is the cts v wagon=p

This.

I mean come on, let's be realistic, what reasons would you have for not wanting to drive something that sounds this bloody awesome? If not a GXP, even a GT will more than suffice.
