Don't forget, that's $27,000 Canadian, so in the U.S., it's probably more like $12.95. The Same car with 6 spd automatic instead of stick is just under $29,000 Canadian.

>>It looks like the basic GTI starts at about $27,600 up here, so it should be in your price range. Have you looked at the Jetta? Up here a Jetta 2.0L 4Cyl, 200HP, 6Spd Manual runs about $27,700.

>$27,000? $27,000.00+ for a Jetta? That's hard to believe. What is this world coming to? :(

>>I assume you are looking for a stick shift. I know we have our differences, but please don't tell me you want an automatic. Please??
