So my parents are looking to replace their Mk 6 GTI, but my mum “hates automatics”. Yes, she’s wrong and should embrace change, but it’s astonishing how there’s very little in the way of (relatively) powerful cars with manual transmissions.
S3: auto only
SQ2: auto only
Golf R: auto only
Golf GTI: national importer no longer offers manuals. (Not the time to buy a new Mk7.5 anyway, but I digress)
A35 AMG: auto only
XC40 T5: no manuals
Even further down the range, the VW T-Roc 2.0 190 is auto-only, as is the equivalent Q2 and Q3.
If you want a manual, you have to get a 1.4 or a Hyundai i30N.
FWIW we’re trying to change her mind but it raises an interesting point. When did this happen?
PS: she won’t have a BMW
PPS: forgot about the Cupra and the Vrs
