Gears are soooooooooo yesterday. Got to be DSG for me everytime (there's nothing worse than sitting in a traffic and being constantly on and off the clutch and in and out of gear every second).

p.s. did you remind your cousin to put the DSG in in sport mode. He was probably just playing with ya  :evil:

aw1m - You've got a nice 'GEAR' knob though...!

Ha ha. Being a yesterday's man, I am in sync with my knob and love touching it constantly.
Yes, my cousin did have it in Sport mode. His car is being checked today by VW. Was not quite right when I drove it.
BTW: You can also get an Ed30 knob for your DSG shift. :smiley:

Real GTI's don't sit in traffic - they live out on the open road with a keen driver, er, gripping his knob...  :grin:

I know DSG changes gear faster than I do, but in a front wheel drive car can it get off the line quicker than a good driver with a manual? This is where a lot of time can be lost.

It is funny that people can still make discussions out of proven technological breakthroughs...
It is 2010 for godsake so we are actcually no longer supposed to drive manual we have DSG and PDK for it....give it another 10 years (yes we are hardheaded) and all cars have this advanced technical improvement...and if you want control than leave the automatic STIG and flipper yourself  :cool:

I'm just interested because I keep coming across instances where a manual box has out-run a DSG in a sprint.
