I'd prefer the manual meself. Thought the auto was a bit gutless unless at least a 2L. 1.6L was woeful.

Well by the Mk3 the comfort level had increased so they pretty good to get along with on a day to day basis but I'd seriously try and find one in a dealers so you can go for a test drive to assess if you think it drives how you want it too 😉

1.6???????

Most of them are 2L with some early CLs which were 1.8 and some VR6.

I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

1.6 was available in the UK so if not available here then lucky him 🙂
