You know, you can drive it in automatic mode, but you can also move the stick over to the sequential manual shifter. I’ll be renting a car soon for a trip and I’d like to have a list of the models which have this when I talk to the rental company.
I don’t have a list, but FWIW my 2007 Mazda3 has it.
Numerous makes of cars, not just Mazda, have these features. In fact every type of car I’ve rented over the last 2 years have this feature.
My 2009 Mazda 3 has this. I’ve used it a few times and it can be a lot of fun.
My 2009 Mazda 5 has it.
