2015 with a manual T? Sounds like something I'm not European enough to understand.

2021 manual transmission/windows/locks, no alarm, no navigation. Lots of buttons and only the radio screen. Love the simplicity of it

I can’t answer for them above, but a lot of people I work with prefer bare bones vehicles and they usually purchase used fleet ones.

I love finding old fleet vehicles. I currently own what used to be a Menard's rental truck.

Jeep wrangler. Please don't associate me with the jeep bros and hoes. It is bare bones, I live in the country and need 4wd. 90% of the miles on it are on dirt/mud/snow

I’ll allow it.

:D

Don't worry I'm on the other end with my Cherokees over the years. Barely lifted, fully loaded, stock, and the quietest exhausts I could find. Drove the rock and mud crowd nuts that wanted to see them super lifted, no exhaust and beat to hell. I love back road driving but I prefer to be a little more civilized about it.

I’ve got a 2017 VW GTI with a mt

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Isn't even VW taking the manual out of those in later models?

[–] Cornpop 2 points 10 months ago

You can still get them with manuals new. But everything going electric eventually I guess.

Hey I had a 2016 GTI with a manual and the engine died due to something called crank walk, 95k miles on the stock clutch. Not sure if they fixed it for 2017 or not.
