Default Convertible with manual tranny?

Hello,

I am in the process of looking for a beetle convertible (likely an '07, '08 or '09) and I'd like to get one with a manual transmission. I have yet to find one. Were new beetle convertibles built with manuals or did they just come in automatics?

Thanks!

The 2007 and 2008 convertible can be had with a manual transmission. I don't believe the 2009 was produced with anything but automatic trans. Too bad, cuzz I covet the 2009 blush edition but don't fancy automatics transimissions

You may be a bit optomistic. I had an 07 with stick. Someone will correct me but I think 08 was the first year that only automatics were offered.

Sold it for a GTI.

Both 2007 and 2008 convertibles were available with manual transmission. 2009 was not.

I would only buy the manual transmission that 6 speed tiptronic trans doesn't last long...
