Today I had my first run out in a GTD DSG.
Briefly.
Initial thoughts:
It was basic spec plus nav and still felt well equipped. Why waste money on more toys?!
Having said that I'd spec Sport & Sound, RVC and park assist I reckon.
DSG, hmmmm, the second time I've been out in a diesel DSG and yes, it goes quicker than a manual I'm guessing but the torque shove just doesn't feel the same and it's only satisfying using the paddles.
The jury is out for me so I'll try it again at some point (hopefully), but in the meantime I'd opt for the cheaper manual car.
I do like the GTD though, a slightly different character to the GTI and just as satisfying to drive.
