Naturally, we love it. Partially because a manual family sedan gives us hope that our enthusiasm might have a place in the future, but also because we’ve loved slamming Hondas into gear since the 1980s, and we’d like to continue doing so for at least a few more decades. Slick and precise, this six-speed—available only on Sport trims—provides a mechanical conduit between the car, the driver, and the 252-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
