Resale value and depreciation go hand in hand. Factors causing greater depreciation of vehicles also reduce resale value. Sometimes, environmental factors play into the equation, such as the recent pandemic, which has constrained used car supply for the past few years. This limitation means all cars hold their value better than before the pandemic.

Much like film cameras losing out to digitals, the disappearance of the manual transmission from cars seems inevitable. Modern automatic transmissions are better for quick and efficient shifting and, as such, automakers have largely switched to them entirely for their vehicles. The vast majority of electric vehicles don’t have geared transmissions at all. Even well-known driver’s cars, such as the Chevrolet Corvette, no longer offer one. But fear not, fans of the three-pedal setup: There are still a few new vehicles on the market that allow you to choose your own gears. By picking a vehicle with a manual, you’re...

Mitsubishi has officially exited the compact car market in the United States with the discontinuation of the Mirage and Mirage G4 models.

Crossovers are what Americans want to buy. Fourteen of the top 20 best-selling non-trucks in America last year were crossovers. That fervent interest makes building electric crossovers a no-brainer. It’s why Volkswagen led off its MEB platform effort in America with the ID.4 instead of a small hatchback. But as with combustion engines, the crossover body style requires some compromises.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Looking through sports cars in the current era, it is hard to ignore what electric vehicles have to offer. If you have been looking at the classic Mustang to satisfy your speed needs, there are a few EV options that we consider to be a better purchase. When it comes to raw, unadulterated power, the Ford Mustang Dark Horse is still a beast. Packing a staggering 500 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque, the pony car rows through a six-speed manual transmission and rockets from 0-60 MPH in just 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 166 MPH. All this performance starts at a price of $64,630.

10 Electric Vehicles We'd Buy Over A Ford Mustang Dark Horse

We’re fans of electric vehicles, but they have their shortcomings. They’re not available in as wide of a range of body styles as gas-powered cars, and they’re still limited by range and charging infrastructure. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) offer a great compromise, though, allowing for all-electric driving, but also having a gas engine for when you need more power or to travel long distances. Choosing a plug-in hybrid vehicle also allows more options; for instance, you can’t get an all-electric minivan in the U.S. … yet.

There is a perception that a V-patern engine is better in terms of performance and efficiency, but the reality is a straight-six has so many advantages over its V-6 cousin. An inline engine only needs one head, gets by with half the cam shafts, and is easier to cool. I-6 engines also produce more torque at lower speeds and are perfectly balanced, making them quieter with less vibrations. Most importantly, a straight-six is cheaper to manufacture.
