The 2024 VW Golf GTI is the last of its kind with a manual transmission
Briefly

The Mk 8 Golf GTI will soon be the last model year to offer a manual transmission, marking a significant shift in Volkswagen's approach to this iconic vehicle.
A turbocharged 2.0-liter engine under the hood provides 241 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, showcasing VW's commitment to performance and driving dynamics.
Despite its flaws, the Mk 8 GTI is praised for being small and nimble—qualities increasingly uncommon in today's automotive offerings.
Due to buyer preferences and upcoming Euro 7 emissions regulations, Volkswagen is discontinuing the six-speed manual option, emphasizing the shift towards automatic transmissions.
