So my missus, who drives a Golf 7, fancies a taller car, and the Q3 seems to be ticking most boxes, especially her requirements of having a manual transmission car. Which is all the better, as people don't seem to be too keen on the automatic. Is there anyone here who has a Q3—from the latest iteration—with a 1.5 TSI and manual transmission? If so , would anyone care to share their impressions about it? Maybe how it behaves compared to the automatic?

I found out that Keyless Start/Stop is not offered as an option at all, nor is wireless charging and wireless Android Auto integration across the range. I was looking at the Sport trim, as it has smaller wheels on more compliant suspension, I think, and lighter-coloured headlining.
