Honda Will Offer Manual Shift with 1.5L Turbo Engine on All 2017 Civic Body Styles

It's good news for fans of manual transmissions.

Today at the 2016 New York auto show Honda confirmed that 2017 model year Civics of every body style will offer the 1.5L turbo engine, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Previously, only a CVT transmission was available with this engine.
