That is a relief. I didn't look them up.

I rode in a new Civic Uber last night. Rear seat legroom was quite good. Probably better than my STS. Also the car was a stick and most of the conversation on our ride from the restaurant to our hotel involved cars with a co-worker and some with the driver.

I know this is a gross generalization but i don't think you'll find an Uber car with a manual trans on the east coast.

I once rode in a manual Nissan Versa Uber in Charlotte. I remember thinking, "this CVT is pretty bad," as we took off, but it was just the lack of driver skill.

I've also been in a manual Kia Soul Uber in Charlotte.
