I still enjoy driving a manual. I used to own the last full size blazer made with a manual transmission. I ordered it and had to wait 6 months before they would build it. It was the last one off the production line before they became known as Tahoes. I have a 2012 tacoma with 5 speed. The only downside is Toyota has used cheap clutches and pressure plates for many years. I just replaced mine at 37K miles. Toyota would have done it under warranty at 36K. Just my luck I got an extra 1K out of it.
