If you love driving, you’ll love a vehicle with a Mazda stick shift. These vehicles help you feel more in tune with your drive and provide even more fun behind the wheel. At Heritage Mazda Catonsville, we’re highlighting a few of your options to choose from.

What’s a MAZDA Stick Shift?

Vehicles that are equipped with a manual transmission require a stick shift. As the name implies, with a manual transmission, a driver must manually change their gears as they accelerate or decelerate. This is done with the shift lever, which is found on the center console.

How Is It Different?

Vehicles typically have one of three different transmission types: manual, automatic, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Mazda models are generally equipped with either an automatic or manual transmission. With an automatic transmission, your vehicle seamlessly changes your gears for you, without any driver input.

Which MAZDA Vehicles Have a Stick Shift?

Most Mazda models feature an automatic transmission. However, some models let you choose between manual and automatic, depending on the specific trim level you choose. These Mazda models are available with a manual transmission:

  • Mazda MX-5 Miata – Sport and Club models come standard with a manual transmission, Grand Touring model is available with a manual or automatic transmission
  • Mazda MX-5 Miata RF – Club model comes standard with a manual transmission, Grand Touring model is available with a manual or automatic transmission
