Not very well as it has a silly flappy paddle, double clutch, heavy assed gearbox  :evil:

I fixed that for you Snoopy  :evil:
  :grin:
It is a shame that gearboxey will eat itself sooner or later due to a tiny huge design flaw  :lipsrsealed:

Fixed it further. :grin:

Help and sarcasm since '02  :tongue:

Lets see what i posted



Only you can decide some love DSG and some prefer manual. Try both and see what you prefer.


My mate spent all his time trying to explain to people what DSG is, its two clutches etc etc etc as when people noticed the shift lever they would ask why he had bought an automatic. So basically if you buy a DSG you have to be a bit of a   :nerd:
(stating a fact of his experience)

There is a design issue with the box nothing to do with it been DSG or manual.

It is a shame that gearboxe will eat itself sooner or later due to a tiny design flaw  :lipsrsealed:

I don't see were i am pro one or the other with my posts.  :huh:

A shame there is no help in this thread for the OP and little sarcasm; just bickering.

This gets done every week. Its a personal opinion. Test it. Posting pointless videos where a car has no drag and keeps up with a faster car in front isnt going to help the OP decide  :rolleyes:

Test one, buy the one you like.

Didnt say you contributed, you just didnt lock it once the standard rubbish started.

Isn't that what comments like 'horses for hourses' suggest he do?

It's personal choice...drive both with your eyes wide open, and buy the one that you prefer, for the majority of driving you do.
Simples.

A forum is full of comments, opinions, arguments (some good some bad), videos (non porn), which makes it interesting and lively.
The OP will sift through this and decide.
To say it is all pointless is totally pointless.

You will find we share the same platform, the Golf R is an S3 also. So not lost at all.

I have not brought this section much at all. I was in here when it first started with my previous user name though, and helped a few people with various questions, about DSG most likely!
