I agree with GolfTi, its two different feeling to driving a car. If you like an automatic and hassle free, get the DSG. If you want the thrill and exhiliration of feeling in control, get the manual.
I believe that more complicated a technology is, more things can go wrong with it. Of course I am not making a scientific statement that I regard the DSG will fail or is unreliable. I just feel so and I would want a solid discussion on the matter to appease my curiosity and what is VAG doing to ensure that its customers are satisfied whether its defective chips or components in the mechatronics or what nots.
I guess thats why I joined this forum, since I wanted to have a lively discourse with what common people felt about the Golfs and in particular the Mk6s including the new GTI.
Cheers,
