My '10' Reg New Toy....and opinion on DSG .v. Manual
« on: 07 March 2010, 19:31 »
Washed her today for the first time and took some more piccies  :cool:
 





I have to say that having swopped from the DSG back to manual, IMHO the manual box is far superior, it's just so much more engaging  :smiley:

The standard wheels are also fine, suit the black car well, better ride quality than the 18's, but wouldn't look so good on most other colours me thinks  :undecided:

The 17s for some reason always look smaller on photos than they do in real life imo.
DSG you just opened a huge can of worms  :evil: I regular compared mk5 GTI DSG to a manual for the past 4 years i went for a manual for the mk6 as it was a personal choice.

Gotta  say I agree about the DSG.

I just finished driving a loaner GTD with DSG, an it aint all dat!!
In a week of driving it, I used the padels once, that was just to try them, if I wanted to overtake, I just booted it and it dropped a couple of gears like any auto does.

Glad I`m back in my manual GTD now.

Pretty little thing she certainly is with very dainty feet!
I prefer a size up whatever the dress colour. Looks more balanced and less top heavy!
I also like to manupilate them manually as they tend to have a dual personality anyway! :laugh:

I'd rather drive a Tractor than a DSG.  :laugh:

You have made the right choice and by what I have read you know you have too.  :smiley:

DSG Rules...it is as simple as that... :cool:

In 2010 you don't poke a stick around in a hole anymore (if it is about cars).......all called progress  :lipsrsealed:
It is men's ignorance trying to beat an ideal curve worked out by computer....the figures prove it...and to be fair I do not see myself as a very skilled driver let alone a racing dude.. :evil:

If you want to engage...use the flippers......closer than that towards a Racing car you simply can't get... :wink:.
