Depending on the model, buying a car with a manual transmission can save shoppers anywhere from $800 to $5,500 (if it grants you any savings at all).

The 2021 Hyundai Veloster N is fun to drive and now comes with more standard performance features, not to mention an available eight-speed automatic transmission.

Cars with manual transmissions have become an endangered species — but don’t declare them extinct just yet. Automakers still feature the three-pedal setup, if rarely, in today’s new or redesigned cars.
