Video of Mk6 GTI on track

[Hairy Porter]

I'm not a fan of DSG or put another way I prefer manual and being fully in control but that video certainly shows the benefits of DSG while cornering hard and repeatedly. He would have struggled to corner like that and shift at the same time.

That is the only time DSG would be of any benefit. Unfortunately we dont drive on tracks like that every day. Manual is only hunderedths  of seconds slower than DSG, it will also depend on the driver.

You are wrong.
As we enlightened people can tell you DSG is the same as having an extra 100 bhp under your right foot.

The only reason to buy the manual version is to save £1,300, and that will be the worst penny pinching of your life.

True, DSG is the future, is better than manual in traffic jams, on track, and imo also on the motorway.
I have friends that say that DSG is not fun, but i beg the differ... im not a professional pilot and I would never shift manually even closer to a DSG... and the prompt acceleration that you get with DSG is orgamsmic! altought I give you that if you are a "hand brake turn a la Russ Swift" type of driver, the "extra" pedal is useful

ha ha ha if what you say is true, I would have paid GBP1,300 for the DSG. Shame what you say is as fairy tale as your nick... in the realm of magic and fantasy.

Oh no, not DSG again so soon. There is a highly entertaining, occasionally relevent and sometimes even informative 38 page thread on this here:
