The Kia Soul can be still ordered with a 6-speed manual transmission. There are a few catches however.

1. They’re only available on the base model, so of course it means you don’t get the turbo model or any of the fancy gadgets.

2. Good luck finding one. They’re so rare the only image I could find of one is of the previous generation Soul (2010-2013)

3. Manual or not, you’re still driving a Kia Soul.

I really wish Kia would’ve made the Track’ster a reality.

250 bhp, slammed, 6-speed Soul?

How about yes.

Oz Soul is auto only. Fortunately , we can get the Picanto instead... with a manual gearbox.

If you want a low, quick small car with a 6 speed .... Fiesta ST?  I sure like mine

Yes the Fiesta ST is great and all, and I’d love to have one. I’d also love to have more variety in that market as well.

I guess. It'd never sell though

There was one at a local dealer for... 13k? Something like that. It was super cheap and super tempting.

The worst is that the big sunroof is only offered with the automatic, and only offered in boring colors, and it costs about $6000 (except in the Soul EV, where it costs $1000, but it’s still not offered in cool colors)

They used to offer the panoramic sunroof in the Signature Kia Soul Green, but not anymore :(
