How do you drive a DSG?

[JulesS3]

If you had a DSG for a week , I don't think you would go back to manual?

Go back? What, to the 1970s??

Autos are nothing new, DSG is simply VWs name for their new Auto box.

VW Golf GTI Automatic wouldn't sound so good would it.

You clearly have not tried it and are just trolling.

As just mentioned I have tried the DSG and really do not understand the hype. It is a modern automatic gearbox with a more obvious 'manual' option than older versions.

Still an Auto.

I've been on here a good while, my views on Automatics have been made clear. Never been called a troll before :embarassed:

Explain how it's an auto.

I fail to see how a car with two clutches and a manual gearbox can be classed as an auto, a clutch pedal does not define a manual, it's merely an ancient way of disengaging the gearbox.

Obviously its an auto - with a 'manual' option.
As I keep saying - what's new apart from the speed of the gear change?

Automatic gearbox under various namesover the last 50 years -change and hold gear by moving the gear lever. Or put it in A and let the car choose. Still don't see what's so revolutionary.

No, it's a Manual with an 'Auto' option.

Sales of GTIs over the last year or so have been 50/50 (ish) manual to DSG.
Obviously plenty of you like DSG and plenty don't.

I don't.

You don't see it through ignorance or stupidity?

It's a manual gear box with two clutches, you just don't use a clutch pedal.

That is really not very nice.

I don't.

Would this be the same if the prices were equal.

Stupidity it would seem. I'll wait for a bit of 'manual' support tomorrow as I'm on my own  against the DSG crowd tonight.
