I have done prob around 20-30K now in a 2005 GTI since 2005 and to me it has too many niggles that it does not get right for me. Each to their own but its just not for me. We did not buy a SEAT Ibiza cupra because its only available in DSG.

I don't hate DSG, just prefer manual. :wink:

When was DSG introduced by the way, mk5 or earlier??

Did mk 1 - 4 have an Automatic version?? I don't remember earlier GTIs being available with Auto boxes but I could be wrong.

He does make a good point. How the f**k do you have 6100 posts?
And dont just say. 'by posting 6100 things'
Dont be rude BMX, There's at least 100 good 'uns in there  :smiley:

Vicious scorpion. :shocked:
Shame on you. :tongue:

Anyway enough of this cat fighting.

I drove my car for the first time today, eleven days after my accident. It was a really painful experience changing gear. It is the one time when DSG would have been a real boon IMO. :shocked:

Have you fallen of your chairs yet? :evil:

Sadly for you it's not something you can retrofit :wink:

Apparently VW are changing the name (for the mk 7) of the Auto box to DCG.

DCG LTCD for it's full name.
