Among the models that will receive the manual transmission treatment include the Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper S, and John Cooper Works Mini Cooper.

Along with the abovementioned models, the four-door Mini Cooper Hardtop and convertible models will also offer a manual transmission for Farragut drivers to consider.
To long with announcing the re-introduction of a manual transmission to Mini models, Mini also polled drivers to gauge interest in manual transmissions; nearly two-thirds of respondents were positive about bringing manual transmissions back to the fold. Fold young drivers looking to learn how to drive a manual transmission car; this announcement provides a great opportunity to do so near Maryville, TN.
