Super disappointed that it is
Super disappointed that it is so hard to find a manual transmission in a new vehicle. I have a soon to be driving teen and hoped we could pass my old (HHR) manual transmission vehicle onto her and upgrade myself to an Outback. A manual keeps a driver's eyes (especially a teen) off the cell phone and on the road. It appears the only options are the (looks like every other SUV on the road) Forester or "a little too small" of a vehicle Crosstrek. The Outback would be the perfect size to transport the family, dog and SUP. Looking at VW's golf wagon instead.
