I know I've said it a bajillion times, but how you can give up such a wonderfull frighteningly good (did I use enough buzz words there) gearbox for a set of I'll drive for you taxi paddles is a mystery to me.

DSG is awesome! This is my car without a clutch. I only used a week to get used to it. Well maybe because I drove a lot when I finally got my car. I love to be able to stick it in D on boring traffic jams and using manual mode when I'm out for a spirited drive. The sound it makes during up and downshifts is just addicting. Love it! I was really torn between manual and DSG but I don't regret my choice at all.
