Likely that makes the 7 speed a PP only optional extra - more money for PP, more money again for 7 speed DSG.
Kerching.
If I were to get another R next time, it would be quite the dilemma as to whether I would get a 7 speed DSG. I strongly dislike DSG, but will there be a real-life worthwhile gap between manual and DSG mpg to make it worth it? Showroom tax savings are more than offset against the box cost itself.
I do love the R I have right now, but if I had to consider another car in a year's time (when my R approaches 3 years old), I find myself oddly drawn to a Polo GTI, the Polo will be getting an MQB update next year, and current GFVs on VW finance illustrations indicate great residuals (about 50% retained after 4 years - much better than the Golf GTI). Hopefully it will have plenty of tech, so you don't have to hammer the options list to make it reasonable.
I'm so used to 300PS and no tramping issues now, I think it would be hard to drop 100PS and unflappable traction in the Polo, the wife's 116PS A1 TDI is nippy, but still feels massively dull to drive (I thought the same of my GTD until I got the DTUK box).
