Manual or DSG?

[carl1]

Fair enough.

I will put money on you not using manual properly though 

 i don't understand i use manual to my driving taste/mood

As I mentioned earlier Jules, it is likely that some of us lazy humans may err on gear shifting resulting in the inefficient use of manuals but one cannot deny the feeling of exhililaration dring one over the DSG. I have driven both and I must say the DSG is a good and excellent piece of engineering. In performance, I cant deny its capabilities. Its great but somehow I miss something. Cant quite put my finger on it, but I lack a certain feel about it.

I mean manual in DSG. It took me over a month to fully get to grips with manual when it 'clicked'

Im well aware of the capabilities of a 'proper' manual, i had a type r before which has one of the best gear boxes in any car! Manual mode in DSG is smoother and quicker than even that and is a joy to use coupled with the stick to knock up and down for when the peddles are out of reach!

I think you put your finger on it right there!

All you luddites will be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century eventually! The day is fast approaching where manuals will be reserved for top end performance/niche models only. You can't stop the march of technology.

Vive la revolution!

Does a DSG still require a full driving licence, or would an automatic licence cover it ?

That's a brilliant AD.

another 30 yrs or so and I will be in the prime dsg age bracket anyway

Another good vid here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LROqVLz4z8M. Think someone mentioned it earlier in this thread.

Hopefully it might convince some of you non-believers that the DSG is a serious piece of kit and not some gimmick, or oldsmobile auto box.
