Default Re: Who still uses a 'stick shift' in their modern vehicle ?

2004 VW R32 and 2000 VW Passsat wagon - all with manual transmissions.

We just ordered a 2016 Beetle convertible....that will eventually be my daughters to drive when she gets her license.....but wanted it with a manual transmission. The only way to get a new Beetle with a manual transmission here in the US is via special factory order and will take over 6 months to build! We figure that the manual shift new Beetle will also be a theft deterrent (reduced insurance rates) and my daughter's friends won't ask to borrow her car either
