If this were the case, then I'd expect the top car to a Chevy Cruze or Toyota Camry, Hyundai Elantra, which are the top 3 three rental cars in the US.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
