Manual VS DSG
« on: 13 October 2009, 20:03 »
Ok, who thought this was another Manual Vs DSG thread again ?  :grin: Got ya. So easy.

Seriously though, question on the DSG side of things and a driving licence. Of course, a full licence is required for a manual car, but for the DSG - Would an automatic licence be suitable for that, or do you still need a full licence ?

i would vote that it is an automatic

no clutch pedal seal and no need to change gear manually = auto

 :laugh:

Honestly guys, I'm being serious though. So a full manual licence wouldnt be required for a DSG ?
