I did have a manual Mk4 and changed to a DSG to see what it was like

So far I am very impressed and cant see me going back to a manual

I know lots of people that have had manuals and bought a DSG, they never go back for another manual.
I dont know of one person that has had DSG (takes a week or so to get used tofor most people) and not liked it.
I have a DSG in one car and manual in the girlfriends, we fight over who drives the DSG.

This is my first DSG car.
I will probably not go back to manual again.
End of story.

I love my DSG except for one thing, when flooring it on standing start, there seems to be a slight pause and jolt before the power is unleashed, anyone else get this or got any driving tips?

Could be a faulty mechatronic unit??

First car with a DSG - miles ahead of the 1970s technology used in most other automatics to this day. Must admit I do feel I have to justify why I bought an auto tho.
