DSG is faster (@ drinking fuel)nuff said!!  :smug:

Yes it does burn a bit more fuel, but not that much!! :wink:
3-5mpg average im my comparisons over the past 4 years or even more on a run due to the gearing.

am i reading this thread correctly or are there people on here that think a GTD is faster than a GTI?!   :grin: :grin: :grin:

and, as stated on many occasions, the DSG is an awesome bit of kit but manual cars are for real drivers and therefore better.  example, was watching the start of quantum of solace the other day and mr bond is thrashing the fook out of his aston - and its manual.  nuff said  :smiley:

James Bond is that what your going by???  :rolleyes:

Real driver's use paddle shift, and sport mode & LC!!

Steve, how old are you mate? I'm 41 this year so a manual GTI is still doable, I reckon I have to be clocking 50 plus to drive an automatic diesel..... :grin:
