Why does the GTI get 6 gears in the DSG but other models get 7?

I think the 7-speed DSG is for low-torque engines only.

Twelve years ago every car in Spain was white. Then blacks and dark colours which get very hot, the new trend for white cars is very welcome and sensible.

Having had a chance to experiment a little with the dsg now, one downside for me is that in manual mode the gearstick is counterintuitive for me.

Surely it should be push for downshifts and pull for upshifts?

Luckily I don't use the stick for manual changes and thank god the paddles were set right (unlike the pdk system).
