Love the car !!! I just got mine on the 6/03/2010, and did not have to pre-order !!!! decided on a golf gti last week and picked it up saturday.

In black too, and have just ordered the Lifeshine pdi kit.

I agree with you on the auto, maybe it was better on the MK V as the manual was poor between 2 and 3rd gear.

Have to agree with you there. If the manual does have a weak point, its the change between 2nd + 3rd, found the same thing in the R32 :undecided:

I've seen gazillions of reviews of the mk6 GTI and I've never read anyone mention this as a weak point. Never even heard it mentioned at all. Transitions between gears (no lag) and the gearbox itself I've heard being praised countless times.  :huh:
Same as , i never had a problem when I had the manual gear box , it went like a dream!! :cool:

Tiguan quicker than the Golf

Driving along normally I have never had any problems... but when on a blast 2nd - 3rd always seem to be the weak link. Have heard a  number of people mention this before I am sure. :undecided:
