Whats the DSG like? Have u driven the manual too? 
Yes had a mk5 manual GTI followed by mk5 and mk6 DSG GTIs. I love DSG, and wouldn't go back to a manual now. There is a learning curve, you drive in slightly different way and it takes a few weeks to get used to, but after that, it's simply great. Best of both worlds, with the manual paddles when you want to take control or stick it in Drive for easy, effortless motoring. Pacy, smooth gear changes, it really suits the GTI imo, particularly when coupled with Adaptive Chassis Control.
Being critical, in Drive mode it up/downshifts too quickly, and in Sport, too late. Somewhere in the middle of the two would be ideal but you can't have everything
It doesn't suit everyone and I'd advise test driving a car with it first (though you really need longer to get to know it). There are those who think it's detached drive with less driver involvement but they can stick with manual.
