12. My wife is on her 3rd Outback -- all manual trans

She drives a 2014, the last year Subaru offered a stick with the Outback. She's more dedicated to 3-pedal driving than I am -- and all my cars since 1980 have been 5 speed manuals (currently 2016 VW Golf).

She needs a car with the cargo capacity of the Outback, and is not looking forward to settling for an automatic or CVT.

My next car will probably be an EV, and I won't mind giving up shifting my own gears to help the environment
