Actually, I don't think that's correct. Non-sunroof Golf III 2-dr 4-cyls were rare, especially in '96-'97, but seem to have always been available in each model year from 94 to 99.5. My problem is that I keep finding automatics... why-o-why... I know it's doable, but I still have a kink in my neck from the last pedal cluster I had to change.
