Here, here! My only two new cars (and the last two purchase) have been a manual wagon and manual hatchback! (No need to look out back to the field of used VW manual diesels that are still daily drivers for the rest of the family)

I would just be happy with mine having an actual “how much gas is in the tank” gauge vs. the two “fuel in tank” and “miles left on tank” readouts that tell me the tank is dry and I have 0 miles left at 220 on the odometer and 4 gallons in left in the 13.4 gallon tank.

Yeah, but does it come in a manual, brown, diesel, and sold in the US?

I’ve passed many of those with the one finger salute on my motorcycle. Forget the paint, one rock to the face is all it takes. Half the time they have the load cover and its just not deployed.....

I have a 2018 and can’t fit a standard length shovel in the back. This looks like you won’t be able to fit a half-handle shovel in the back. The hatch is already too small and now looks ridiculously tiny for the size of the back end.

Me three. I bought a Mazda 3 manual hatchback as the next closest thing which is fine, but the extra room would have made a world of difference. 

What did you use to lift it the full 4"? I am working on a 2000 Jetta TDI lift in my spare time and have only found 2-3" lift spacers...

Lost my account with a new computer and have to start all over....
