Volkswagen Golf R of 2016 Adds Manual Gear Box

The only thing missing for the Golf R from Volkswagen is now available. Customers who want manual gear box just need to wait some time.

The Volkswagen Golf R of 2015 will be at dealerships this spring, though, it will be possible to obtain it with the Direct Shift Gearbox from Volkswagen only. One of the reports in Car and Driver states that the German automaker is going to add a manual gear box option to the variant of the 2016 offering year which will make its debut in summer of 2015.

The price for the Volkswagen Golf R of 2016 including the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) will be higher, but the customers waiting for it are able to find extra $1,100. Manual gearbox will bring more fun of driving, but it is needed to expect it to be a little slower in accelerating in comparison with the DSG.
