I did find it funny when years ago VWde got VWoz to remove there original youtube videos of when they got the first batch of DSG mk5 cars and sprinted them against the manuals as it contradicted all the previous videos and promotions. :grin:

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:

Some people like to have internet sex thanks to technological break throughs... wont stop you wanting to do the real thing now will it?? :wink:

.... and here are the results of the second head to head ......

Red manual GTi 5 door versus White DSG GTi 3 door - 0-60 mph acceleration ....Result = neck and neck after three goes.

....but I had more fun as I held my knob throughout. :grin:

Maybe Red is just faster than white  :evil:


Your a GTI driver not a GTE driver :grin:
Just been reading this on another forum

Adverts i remember was for the Mk2 Golf GTI. It's just a simple photo of a red Golf GTI and a white Astra GTE next to it at traffic lights on red with the GTE driver looking at the lights waiting for them to change, meanwhile the GTI driver is just looking ahead without a care. For me that summed up the GTI model, as the driver had nothing to prove and wasn't interested in racing off at the lights. It was the benchmark people compared to!

My first experience of a Volkswagen was as a child of 8 or 9 years old when my brother bought a 1982 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1. The car was silver and had an unmistakable look about it. It looked sporty but at the same time very simple, probably because it didn't have big bumpers and spoilers unlike rival cars like the GTE or the XR3i. As a passenger in the car it felt very solid and safe, even at higher speeds. This car had such an influence on me it's made me into the VW enthuisiast i am today 20 years later.

My favourite advert of all time has to be 'GTi Forever' (see below), very clever advert.

You can ask yourself what criterium they take getting the manual figures.... :huh:

It cannot be a coincident that ALL the DSG and PDK figures are more favorable with an average of 0.3 seconds (although that in itself is actually not much)...0-60

It is of moot importance whether a DCG equipped car is a few tenths of a second faster.
Driving a DSG equipped car is equivalent to having penetrative sex without touching the recipient. I'm being kind! :rolleyes:

R32UK mentioned earlier: Some people like to have internet sex thanks to technological break throughs... wont stop you wanting to do the real thing now will it??

Gilly (R32UK): Just realised that the poor sods don't want the real thing! :sad:
