Does the Kia Optima LX have a manual transmission?
I’m looking for a used car to buy for my daughter for her 16th birthday. I want to make sure it has a manual transmission, so she’ll know how to drive all vehicles. I’m looking at Kia Optima LXs, but I can’t find one with a manual—did they ever make one?
