    Manual Transmissions - How Many

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey Guys,

    I know there is a very very small number of manual transmission B8s that were produced. I just would like to know if there were manual transmissions offered in the end of the B8 life-cycle (2015-2016 models)? Or were there more in the earlier build years?


    Thanks,
    Asif

    I believe there are a few owners here that have manuals up to the end of the B8.5 model run.
    I have a 2014 manual transmission and I know a friend with a 2015 manual transmission.

    It's really sad that they have yet to release the B9 in a manual transmission.

    I don't think they will in the U.S.

    Is that official? I haven't heard that officially yet but I think that's what will probably happen. If so, this is probably my last Audi.

    Picked up my 2016 last Halloween with a manual transmission. Out of 91 A4's in stock, non were manual. They had to trade a dealer in a neighboring sate for the car.

    I have a 2013 with a manual transmission. I just got it last Friday. Aside from absolutely adoring this car, it was the only 8.5 for sale in all of Ontario that was manual and had low kilometres.

    The other 3 of the 4 listed were 75k and up to 95k, and also didn't have many of the options mine has.

    Quebec has so many including one with panda interior but it was too far. I ended up driving 1.5hrs for this one. Again, I adore it. Haha

    Took me a while to find one I liked, but I finally bought my 2013 Glacier White A4 manual about a couple months ago (even though it's MMI-less, which ended up not being as big of a deal as I thought.)... Best car I've ever owned by FAR. Audi has a great manual transmission... it's a shame not many people opt for it.

    I recently drove a B9 with a DSG and still couldn't see what all the fuss was about. Sure, it's a quick shifter, but there's just such a lack of satisfaction driving it.

    I had my 2010 6MT shipped to Austin, TX two months ago from a dealership in Oregon, 2300 miles away. It can be difficult to find exactly what you're looking for in a 6MT.

    Currently on Autotrader... out of 3,487 B8/B8.5 for sale, only 173 are manual transmission = 4.96%

    5% is about right, but it varies by year. As an FYI, we have a long-running thread on this topic already with some good information in it:
