Most car people will tell you a manual transmission is the only correct way to drive a car. But what if we told you that some of the best cars ever built were never offered with a stick? This is a list of 13 undeniably great cars that NEVER came with a stick shift.

Here’s why I love Donut Media;
While there are lots of car shows I thoroughly enjoy watching, it’s only Donut that I can count on almost every day of the week. After a long day at work, I know I can get home and have James or Nolan or Zach or Jerry waiting for me with 20 minutes of relaxing entertainment and education. I have never watched 1 lap race in my life, but Nolan’s excitement about it puts me in a good mood. So many cars James likes I think are butt ugly but it doesn’t matter because his joy with them is contagious. Jerry is the goofiest most entertaining engineer I’ve ever watched. And while Zach is a fantastic mechanic from whom I always seem to learn something, his Miata pain hits hard. His wins and losses with it take me high and low.
To all the guys and Joes at Donut Media, thanks for doing what you do and keep the great content coming!
Wow bro so much to get noticed
You should watch the canada gp 2011
they have it on youtube
I really love their content but I wish the ads would be at the end of the video. They deserve every cent from ads but I think it's better it was at the end. Anyone else agree?
@@adritbothra wow bro, I noticed you noticing him so I just wanna put a notice that I noticed you too. Still ain't getting my like.
@@praveenwesley5186 hahha nice one my man
very impressed that james was able to make an engine noise for exactly 2.30 seconds
I bet he rehearsed this for a little while.
It was actually only about a second and a half
That’s crazy Jarvis
That was not 2.30 seconds
@Laura Brown when did we ask
Car modders: "Fine. I'll do it myself..."
You ain't lying... believe I came across a lambo with a manual online before
It easy to do if you know how to do it but now there's a tutorial by Zach on the money pit playlist with his bmw
Saammmeeee😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did it to my SVX back in 05. Weren't very many kits to make manual for it back then for it. But sounds more doable now. Had to do it because after blowing 3 transmissions after putting a turbo in it
The Crown Victoria is such a legendary car, it keeps up with hypercars in Need for Speed
Gta cops hold my gun
Yeah, it did 0-60mph in 1 hour, i mean seconds
I owned a Vic and I truly regret ever selling it, it was such a cool car and really fun to drive. Also everyone thought I was a cop so they’d move over and let me by them lol
Ima coyote swap a crown vic
i've heard that retired police cars like crown vics can go for pretty cheap at auctions

No shifter...YESSSSSSS
14:14 “You can pretty easily swap in a 5 speed from a Subaru Legacy” last time I read up on this particular swap, I found a blog by a former Subaru tech who did it himself and his conclusion was “Can it be done? Yes. Would I wish it on my worst enemy? No.”
Yeah makes sense Suby box's are notoriously weak although fun when stopped and shut for a quick spell of rwd drifties just keep it under 300hp . That's the best thing about living in New Zealand we get all the jap imports. Got a mate with 13 gtr skylines cracks me up when I see Americans flipping out over a gtr. We also got the holden with the 3 litre stroker bottom end hence Rips megawatt (1000kw or 1200 ish hp) build is from new zealand. Made a rips build with 37psi of boost for donuts one night best 10 minute donut machine ever till the re-used head studs stretched but it was just r32 coupe a three litre bottom end and a gtr head and nismo bigbox used to trash 1 a week building drift missiles for the local drifters them and c32 lorries so it was literally a leftover parts bin car lol I shudder to think what it would be worth now lol.

The fact that someone hasn’t made “Greg’s List” as an alternative to “Craig’s List” is beyond me. Someone should make “Greg’s List” for only cars & car parts lol.
The domain name Gregslist.com is owned by Craigslist. And it's a software company list...
Michael Williamson Seriously 😳 😯 wow!
Michael Williamson what about graigslist.com or greggslist.com
Damn it!... My name is Greg .... This was my dream!!
As a greg, i will make a site called betterthangregslist.com for that purpose!
"I say 'perhaps' because we didn't google it" is now one of my favorite phrases. That line is brilliant.
You guys legit make the most entertaining car content for people that like cars but aren't hardcore car enthusiasts. Like me. I can't afford to do a ton of cool car stuff, I really only know the basics, but I absolutely love these videos.
its sad to see manuals slowly disappear. and its even sadder to know that my kids will watch human-driven cars slowly disappear
Much safer not so much fun tho lol
I miss the manual cars I've had, but some of the good CVTs with paddles are nearly as fun when you put 'em in sport mode. At least then you can pretend you're Lewis Hamilton on your daily commute. I always wear my helmet and constantly communicate with my pit crew when I drive my G37S.
@@xUltimatexInstinctx no fun at all probably tbh
Like Dutch told me once: "You can't fight change".
@@xUltimatexInstinctx automatic is not safer than manual if that's what you are referring to
A wise man once said:
"There's the R32, 33, 34, and the one that's *missing a pedal* "

Missin the R31 bro. Its sick
The GT-R powertrain is quite complex and unusual I don't even blame them.
I had a 1994 SVX. Added a Supercharger kit to the boxer-6 which destroyed the automatic during tuning. I had the transmission and rear replaced with the drivetrain from a 2004 JDM STi WRX.
I drove a Mercedes with a manual before and it was one of the best driving experiences I have ever had (was an SLK 350)
"*yeah we got a problem on the amount of cars we own*"
Us: catches a glimpse that he owns a whole ass ambulance
I was like damn!!!!! Wee woo wagon in the back!!!
As i firefighter, naturally i thought it would be cool to fix up an old firetruck and looked into it. You can find alot of good deals on firetrucks/ambulances at government auctions with less 60-80k miles for less than 6-8k$ Hell a neighboring department to me sold a 90's chevy with the 6.5 n/a diesel, outfitted for brush fires for 3500$ last year (hoses and tools not included). I want to buy an old ambulance and empty out the box on it and use it as a party van now tho 😂 and its easier to store than a firetruck
Bruuu same 😂😂
That's Grandpa Max Tennyson's van.
"We all have a problem with the amount of cars we own"
*owns an ambulance*
Thanks for another Entertaining Video. 5-Speed Fun Fact: Audi didn't offer an Automatic Transmission in any of their Quattro offerings until the 1990 Audi V8 (3.6L DOHC 32 Valve) Quattro was released (Manual was available in Europe / I only ever saw one Manual 1990 Audi V8 as a Professional Wrench in Colorado). The one year only 1991 Audi 200 20V (5-Cylinder Turbo Quattro) and subsequent 1992-1995 1/2 S4 Models were also only fitted with a 5-Speed Manual Transmission. Randy
“Nein gears” lmaooo😂😂 James we love you dude

@@komrander7497 Hahahaha, Me Too.
I'd love to see you guys do something with good old paddle shifting cadillacs from 2011-2020. The XTS and CTS have everything from 305-450 hp stock. potentially all wheel drive, automatic transmission with paddle shifters/ super nice inside. great sound system.. and they're like 10-20k.
Wow, I really did not expect to see my car on this list! And yes, I really with that my LS400 came with a manual! The closest I get is the updated gated-style PRND32L shifter on my '95 where I can shift down from 4th to 3rd, or from 3rd to 2nd, but I can't keep the car in 1st, and I can't force it to upshift.
I love how james is fighting the microphone cord the whole video😂
I wonder if everyone at Donut watches their own content on the toilet

@@brehum yeah I know he holds it as a joke, just said this for the lols
I'd believe it's a $2 mic - that thing was making a LOT of noise. Almost makes the video unwatchable. If James is going to be tossing a mic back and for between hands like that, he should be using a Lav and just holding a prop mic.
At 19:48 James killed me 😂 “Boomwah” 🤣

Great vid. I just wish my Audi S5 Convertible 3.0 V6 Supercharged came with a manual transmission! With a manual, you can feel it in the corners & block shift (4th to 2nd) if you need to. All the best...........
I would really like to see him start saying 3 years pre Malone for example when referring to 1992 and other years before 95
He's done that a few times
The joke would get old
What if one day he mentions when Malone's mother acknowlegd her lack of PMS and then she knew was about to get Malone sigh
He literally owns an ambulance 😂
easily the funniest vid I've seen from James idk such a goofy vid
most under appreciated editors in existence lmao

@@twilightsuzuka6252 thats a good question, i will google it when i have time.
Whyd that license plate on the BMW say "PEEPEE"???? LMAO. Awesome videos guys keep up the awesome work
The thing people forget about manuals is that , when treated properly with accurate shifting, including minimal slippage of the clutch in and out , they can last a very long time. This is something that's always an unknown with almost any automated transmission. They do a job that is complex and and they are complex compared with a manual, thus much more prone to failier than manuals treated properly. Then, when they need repair, look out, because it will be expensive. Manuals are much simpler and easier to repair, almost always. Another tidbit for thought: Most modern vehicles have electric rack and pinion steering. In times past and the few that still use hydraulic systems, if you lost power steering, you would still be able to steer the vehicle with extra effort and get off the road safely. With electric steering, my experience with auction sale vehicles driven on a large lot, is that if you loose voltage to the rack or it has some other issue preventing the electric motor from working, you WILL NOT be able to turn the steering wheel at all. This is a potentially dangerous situation in modern steering design. Be aware. I had close calls with vehicles when power(12V) was lost. and almost hit cars because I could not steer. Peace.
True, same thing with electric brakes. Sounds dangerously stupid
