Interesting thread...
I'm thinking DSG, Manual, DSG...Manual...Oh, I give up. don't know.
I fancy a Mk6 GTI...but don't know which to go for.
The best option seems to be to buy my old mans Mk5 GT DSG and live with it for a few months...that way, I'll either love it, or hate it.
Either way, if I then go for a Mk6 GTI I will know I'm happy with the gearbox choice.
I like what I've found driving DSG so far (short drives) but when it comes to living with it daily...all bets are off. Time will tell.
I'm not sure I'd want DSG in a weekend/fun/sports car...but in a daily driver, I'm certainly tending towards it being a good choice.
