How do you drive a DSG?

[lowdown]

I went for a test drive yesterday in a DSG (not my first time)  So whats the best way to "do it" ?  Paddle it.  Auto it? Stick shift it?

There are quite a few members with just on leg. The right one.
Presumably you've still got both.
I suggest use them both whilst you can!

DSG is brilliant because it's so versatile , you can do anything with that box!! I use all the above depending on what mood I'm in (mostly paddles) but I do stick shift also.

am1w- I assume you are telling me to stay with a manual box.

On a Golf R, I would go with the DSG, 100%.
It also suits the GTD very well.
I am split 50/50 between manual and DSG on a GTi.
I chose the manual as: (a) it was £1330 cheaper and (b) I am more used to manual gearboxes and like the greater control over the car.

"Paddle it" everywhere except in slow traffic, then its back to D.

No wonder you have a stiff neck Asker with that left leg of your's up and down

Steve, it's more like in and out rather than up and down!

I like a bit of the old in out
