Hey guys, I've been looking around for a new car for a while, and I'm looking for suggestions. But first, somebackground knowledge.
My first car was an 03 Jetta wagon, and I loved it. But, my friend borrowed it on his prom night and totaled it.

My second car was an 04 Passat GLX wagon, that got stolen.
Now I REALLY like manual cars, and I liked German cars. Other than that, I'm still pretty new to driving. Could you guys perhaps offer a few suggestions of what to look for next?
New/Used. ( I've been looking at GTI's lately)
Also, no brz.
