Searched on sgcarmart, only saw a malaysia made car that is =< 1600, other brand all above 1600cc

Checked with KAH motors about the availability for honda city manual and they said honda stopped production for manual already, only the luxury version got "manual" driving which is paddler shift.

Any other source to get new =<1600 manual transmission sedan?

How is the feeling of driving with paddler shift?

Little market demand and technology advances means ADs very unlikely to bring in manual cars.

Paddler shifts are gimmicky IMO. You just control when the automatic transmission shifts gears, that's all. The computer actually shifts better than you do if you leave it alone.

If you want you can try getting some PI to do imports of UK cars.

Paddle shifts r also nice to shift. Do note dsg, older single clutch systems use a manual gearbox, with a hydraulically controlled clutch. Different from the torque converter type. This gives more feel in the shifts

Paddle shifters depends on cars. Certain makes jist damn laggy, which makes it no point having it. Some are good.

Tbh, VW ones are good since they hydraulic clutch, as mentioned above, you feel like it actually shifting and a slight shift shock, sort of. But DSG gearbox have a lot of cons also.

Manual, is shiok la if drive enthusiastically. If come jam, tired. Good thing about those auto with paddles, you can choose when you want the function to come in.
