Does the Volkswagen Golf have manual transmission?
So my dear nephew Dieter has just moved here to California from Germany, and he can’t wait to go on his first American-style road trip. We’re going to surprise him by renting a German stick-shift car. Does the Volkswagen Golf have manual transmission?

- A turbocharged 2.0 L 4 cylinder engine sporting 273 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque
- A rabbit-quick 0 to 60 mph time of 5.1 seconds
- Limited slip differential and brake-based torque for even more fun than Golf drivers are used to
- A pitch-perfect tuned suspension, offering top-notch ride quality
- Firm stopping power, with the Golf’s brakes bringing this hatchback to a HALT from 70 miles per hour in a relatively short 151 feet
- Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, so Dieter can play all the Kraftwerk (or Rammstein) he wants
Whether you or Dieter are driving a Volkswagen Golf or some other sublime German automobile, be sure you’re covered with a robust
