Alas!
My then girlfriend, now wife, taught me to drive manual in her 1986 Golf back in 1990. She completed all her driver training and did her road test in a manual Toyota Tercel before getting her dream Golf after she got her DL. She subsequently had a manual 1995 Golf followed by a manual 2002 Golf before moving into a manual 2003 Subaru Forester when our first child arrived. She now drives a Toyota Sienna
I still fondly remember the crank open, all metal sunroof in the 86' Golf (and many other vintage German cars for that matter). Much simpler times!
