+1 DSG.
Its great for lazy driving in traffic and the like but the paddles make for some fun driving on open roads and there is no topping the burp of a gear shift on the DSG either

DSG is great if you have any physical shortcomings in the leg area just like all auto boxes.

DSG is like Decimilisation, or Progress in Technology.

People just like what they know and dont like "Change".

So let me get this straight. Im accused of Being "old" cus i drive an Auto??

More like Grandad just wants to stick with what he knows best (in a manual)


...heads quickly out of thread to avoid "The Manual Brigade".


all in good humour  :wink:
