According to Grunitz, Volkswagen’s first electric GTI will be “a real go kart” to drive. He’s already driven a prototype, claiming, “It’s really amazing.”

You can see the concept pulls design features from VW’s classic GTI models. However, the company promises new tech will enable even more control and handling for that “go kart” like feel.

For the same reason the last car I bought has a manual transmission: It's fun.

Any car that you can't turn off the internal noises is an instant no buy for me. Stupid

I want a stick with an e-car.

Things are different off-road, antilock brakes suck on dirt and different gear ranges are useful. Not everyone lives urban.
