how do you drive your dsg?
« on: 06 February 2010, 16:28 »
Hi guys

Thought this was quite interesting as in other threads i have seen ppl
state they use different modes as there default.

After having my dsg 1 year now I have only  used tiptronic for about 5 minutes, paddles for about 15 minutes.
I am lasy and just leave it in 'D' drive 95% of the time with 5% in sport.

Always in manual and use Paddles. I have some Carbon fibre Paddle extenders which make the use of them more Fun then the stubby short Oem ones.

Have to admit, do a lot of motorway or commuter (ie stop/start) driving, the car tends to live in 'D'. (Ducks for cover.)

But when I'm on the country roads I love to slip it in to either manual or S for a good blast.

Ahh, a man with the right attitude...same here :cool:

In fact when I do drop it into D I invariably flip the paddle for the next gear without thinking as it has become that natural :laugh:

You need bigger flappy flaps like me and Phil Mcavity, then you won't have to fiddle with your nobby nob :grin:
