You? I've noticed ...   :grin:

Paying too much tax is the cause. Must check up with Liam Fox's best, best 'friend' how to play the game!

Interesting thread this one.

I would have thought it would be around 50/50 manual/DSG, that's what I was told by my dealer when buying.

Thats the impression I got whenever this debate comes up on here, maybe the DSGers are just louder.

Or maybe dealers are pushing the DSG :shocked:, any comments evo?

Trade in price of a 3yr old mk5 DSG is a couple of hundred more than a manual.

I'll lock the voting once it hits fifty: if it ever does.
This would be a good enough sample.

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))

Thats's cos you lot like a spare hand to hold your tinnies  :evil:
