The GT Manual tops out the range and builds on the sporty package that is the DCT-equipped GT. Here, the dual-clutch gearbox is switched out for a six-speed manual, and a few features are added to make the higher price worthwhile. This includes a standard sunroof, interior LED lighting, parking sensors in the rear, and a banging Harman Kardon sound system with eight speakers.
