If you love the indescribable feeling of driving manual, the purr of the engine as you change gears, the gearshift becoming an extension of your right arm allowing you to control and master the momentum of precise and dynamic mechanics, this is your last chance to enjoy one of the best manual transmissions ever made.
In fact, ringing in the new year also means something unfortunate for purists everywhere who only swear by a manual transmission: Volkswagen Canada has announced that the 2024 Golf GTI will be the last model-year to offer the option of a manual transmission.
To mark the end of an era, the manufacturer is offering an exclusive version on the North American market: the Golf GTI 380 with a 6- speed manual transmission, in two trims −Autobahn and Performance-, at a base price of $ 38,795.
The 380 Autobahn trim stands out by adding, among other things:
- 19- Inch Estoril black alloy rims;
- A multifunction heated and leather upholstered steering wheel with touch command;
- Adaptive cruise control with lane assist;
- Dynamic chassis control with driver profile selection.
