Performance Pack - user reviews?

[Jackie Treehorn]

If i'm honest its not something I would be qualified to comment on, as i have tried my mates DSG DCC 19" GTI PP but not driven it in anger like my own.  I would say its not something to get too concerned about, if DSG is right for your situation I would go for it,  as the VAQ diff will work perfectly well without question.  If you want or desire a manual then its as good as any manual i have driven, for throw and mechanical feedback, and again the VAQ will work perfectly.

VAQ PP pack is a must, DSG is a personal choice for your situation.

Changed from non pp to pp a few months ago.
Brakes IMHO a league above..non pp were good but these are really strong
Diff. Come off roundabout hard on the gas u can really feel the outer wheel bite and drag you round whereas before u would ease the power a little due to understeer. Also hard straight line acceleration there is less "twitching?" thru the steering wheel especially if it's damp.
Power not a great difference but to me seems marginally  more swift.
Like the look of the bigger discs
Hasten to add really liked my non pp but was offered good deal on pcp and a pp car was available.
