Clutch Saves gas!
 
Praise the Clutch!
 
Clutch is the answer to all of your congestion problems!
 
Banish that automatic to the Heidies where it came from!

Putting a clutch in a FWD or F/awd vehicle would do nothing but make the automotive insurance companies profits SOAR..!!!

I had a 5 speed FWD for 17 years and the insurance was cheap. I don't hear Subaru owners with MTs complaining about their insurance rates either. I don't think there's any factual basis for your assertion.

Just have a look at how many FWD sticks are now discontinued.

Yeah, but it's not because of insurance or safety. Can't eat, drink the Starbucks, and drive stick too good.

Just a thought, people should consider the Mazda 5. Very highly rated, it is like a very small minivan or wagon (only considered like a minivan because of sliding doors). We cross-shopped the CRV with the Mazda 5 and chose it because:
 
- higher than a car but lower than an SUV
- MUCH better handling with extremely tight turning circle - handles like a Mazda 3
- Seats 6 in three rows, but can fold rear seats for cargo room
- Bargain priced, fully loaded with nav, leather, bluetooth, heated seats around $25K
- Outstanding crash test scores
- Better mileage than CRV or RAV4
- Sliding doors mean no doors swinging out in tight parking spots
- Available with a stick shift if desired

Hmmm..
 
Maybe that's why I have only 20k miles on my '01 Porsche C4........
 
It's either take my wife along as a "holder" or no Starbucks.

Just FYI. I work in an Insurance agency and the MT cars are less expensive to insure simply because replacement value is less.

Also, theft rates are a lot lower. New generation of joy riders have no clue what to do with the 3rd pedal.
 
They have grown up with their parents driving slushbox minivans, and their computer games always shifted for them.
 
There was an article in the paper about these car thieves that just sat in a manual Accord trying to figure out how to get it going! The police caught them while they were still trying to figure out how to put it in "drive"
