well, Volkswagen is obviously german...do you mean that Volkswagens sold in europe do not come with the option of automatic transmission? with a lot of the new european cars sold in the US you can get an automatic transmission that also allows you to switch into a manual shift mode, called sequential manual shift or tiptronic (with no need for a clutch). they dont have this option in the cars sold in europe?

You should try it man. It actually decent shifting abilities for an auto  . I love my 5 speed tho seems to be alot better for racing to me.

the tiptronic is fun. im not entirely sure if it allows you to go to the redline like you can with a real manual transmission, but it makes for some nice responsive acceleration.

i dont see how yall hate manual so much. all the people i've talked to that have learned it say they're sooo glad they did. as for manuals in trucks, my truck is a manual and i love it. its extremely useful!
