Row Your Own: The 12 Crossovers and SUVs You Can Still Get with a Manual Transmission

-At their inception, SUVs were the rough-and-tumble types, with go-anywhere aspirations and basic, truckish roots. These simple, durable, rugged machines usually had a manual transmission. Things have changed a lot since then. But while scanning today’s crop of decidedly less authentic, car-based crossovers and those few remaining truck-based SUVs, we still managed to find a dozen models that can be had with a stick shift. It is worth noting, however, that in only seven of these twelve can one pair the manual transmission with four-wheel drive. Without that feature, many of these manual-transmission crossovers are hardly distinguishable from the hatchbacks they’re based on. Nevertheless, here are the twelve SUVs and crossovers that haven’t yet done away with the shift-it-yourself option.-2016 Honda HR-V-2016 Honda HR-V-2016 Outlander Sport SEL-2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport-2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4T AWD-2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4T AWD-2016 Fiat 500X-2016 Fiat 500X-2015 Mini Cooper Countryman S-2013 Mini Cooper Countryman-2015 Mazda CX-5-2015 Mazda CX-5-2016 Nissan Juke NISMO RS-2016 Nissan Juke NISMO RS-2016 Subaru Crosstrek-2013 Subaru Crosstrek-2016 Jeep Compass-Jeep Compass (Euro-spec)-2016 Jeep Patriot-2016 Jeep Patriot-2017 Subaru Forester-2016 Subaru Forester-2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys-2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys--
