Well, the dealer only has one in the color she wants and it's a manual. I can't seem to find any others in that color anywhere.

So for now it's that one or we wait and likely look for a used automatic one with patience.

She likes the idea of automatic so that it is easier for others to drive, but as I told her, the kids will need to learn to drive stick if they want to drive the GTI. She agreed and acknowledged that the manual was more responsive/fun.

Like I said, we will probably get this one. Her only request is that we get white mirror covers. That's easy.
