Yes. In the United States, Honda’s manual-transmission options are limited to two sporty models—the Civic Si and the Civic Type R—both equipped with six-speed manuals. Globally, some markets still offer manual transmissions on other Honda models, but availability varies by country and model year.
Current US offerings with a manual transmission
The following Honda models in the U.S. are currently offered with a manual gearbox.
- Honda Civic Si — 6-speed manual transmission; a higher-performance variant of the Civic lineup.
- Honda Civic Type R — 6-speed manual transmission; the performance flagship of the Civic family.
These two models represent Honda’s continued commitment to a traditional manual option within its sport-focused lineup. The broader Civic lineup in the U.S. largely relies on automatic transmissions or CVTs.
Notes on broader markets and history
Outside the United States, Honda has historically offered manuals on a wider range of models in various regions. Availability depends on country, model year, and local regulations, so some markets continue to offer manual transmissions on vehicles like city cars and certain Civics, while others have shifted to automatics.
- Jazz/Fit (city car) — In several markets, the Jazz (known as the Fit in some regions) has been offered with a manual transmission across multiple generations.
- Civic variants outside the current U.S. lineup — Various markets have provided manual options on different Civic trims across generations, even when those options aren’t available in the U.S.
For anyone considering a Honda with a manual transmission abroad, it’s important to check the current local specifications, as availability can change with model-year updates and regional strategy.
Summary
Manual transmissions remain available for Honda, but very selectively. In the U.S., the Civic Si and Civic Type R are the active manual models, while mainstream Civics use automatic transmissions or CVTs. Globally, manuals persist in some markets on models like the Jazz/Fit and various Civic generations, with regional and year-to-year variations. Prospective buyers should consult local dealers for the latest availability.
