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

I expect DSG will be most popular on this forum but in production figures i would expect the manual to be more popular.
Mk6 GTI  &  Mk1 GTI

I think it was fairly even in mk5 form, but there seems to be more manuals in mk6 as people have realised their mistake when they brought their mk5. Each to their own and all that but one word sums up dsg. Boring.
GTI manual PP, now sold  :-(

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.
As I have said, one owner, one car, one gearbox, one vote.
One owner but had two cars and chose manual both times, so I want two votes or I'm going to sit in the corner and sulk. :grin:

Dearest heart, the thread heading has changed to 'current' car. So you can now vote correctly and avoid the sulk.  :grin:

Both you and Doc seemed a bit peeved. You were also getting greedy and sulking.
Being so accommodating, I altered the heading ....... just for you and a bit for Doc.
I am a firm believer in one man one vote ......... when it suits me.  :grin:
