Does the Mazda RX8 come with a manual transmission?

I’ve always wanted a Japanese sports car, but I don’t want to spend a ton on cars like the Supra or other souped-up luxury options. A used Mazda RX8 has the power, acceleration, and style I love, but I want to make sure it comes with a stick. Can I get a Mazda RX8 with a manual transmission?

Yes, all Mazda RX8 models come with a manual transmission.
Produced from 2003 to 2012, the
Mazda RX8
picked up where the RX7 left off, offering stunning style, tons of acceleration, and sports car power. Depending on the model you buy and what’s under the hood, the Mazda RX8 offers either a five- or six-speed manual transmission. Matched with a 1.3-liter, naturally aspirated turbo-four engine, the RX8 can ramp up from 0-60 mph in as little as 6.3 seconds.
If you decide that the need for speed is just too much to ignore, make sure that you use the
