Yeah, can I have two votes please Mr Thread Starter?  :smiley:

I could happily live with either so will sit on the fence. The only negative thing I can say about DSG was the only time I drove one my left leg was flapping about like a freshly landed salmon because I'm not used to driving an autobox.

Then you can't vote!
You drive a manual so vote manual. Easy peasy.

SO do you want us to choose the car we have, the car we have have on order, the car we'd like to have etc?  :undecided:

For what it's worth my 2p bet is that the most common type will be a GTI + MANUAL  :nerd:

Interesting , down under the numbers seems to range somewhere between 15 - 25% of GTI's are manuals, Aussies have have always liked their automatics (in whatever form  - DSG,PKD, etc))
