Manual or DSG demographics

[rjwojcik]

Continuing the manual / DSG saga, I was wondering whether choice was down to peoples ages.  Please enter your age group and actual (or ideal if you don't have a car) profile.  Thanks.

yes to discuss retention certs for my private plate.  apparently would take an extra 21 days(!) so going with a 59 plate for now and then transfer the plate later

no firm date as yet though.  he said should know by the weekend.... fingers crossed!

Yes, I interpret it as the Playstation generation are happy with the DSG (and would probably quite happily discard pedals and steering wheel too in favour of a hand-held controller ), those in their late 30's-40's prefer the traditional manual until they reach mid-life when they become bored with all that changing gear nonsense and enjoy the convenience of an auto box.
