Interesting that they only offer the Passat biturbo as a DSG.

I seem to remember Audi being the same - 4wd means an auto box.

Hmmm so not the S3, but just looked at the A3 and A4 and when you select quattro it only offers s-tronic auto box. I was only ever looking at a A3 184 before I got my GTD, could never afford a S3 :-(

Mind you, when I looked at the new S'roccy earlier on i noticed that they only offer the 184 TDi as a DSG.

Must just be their choices of what they think you'd want.

I think you must be putting in the wrong searches Fred as the Skyrocket comes in manual or DSG in all guises:

Nope, just been back, choose a R Line and then check the box for manual transmission:

how weird is that!
Mind you, I'd quite fancy a DSG R Line Scirocco myself so maybe I'm their target audience!!

See the new Passat is on the configurator. The R-Line BITDI looks like an easy £40k car with a couple of must have options (can't believe a £35k car doesn't have the LED headlights as standard). As nice as it is I don't think I'd choose one over a 330d M-Sport xDrive.

I've just priced up my ideal Passat and got to £41,500. Too much money, but it will make a cracking used car in a years or so time. Passats values have always dropped like stones in the first year.

Oddly, people that are too stupid to be able to reverse a trailer can have Trailer Assist, but there is no option for a factory fitted folding tow bar.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Ha Ha Ha!

No, I was just joking, I do like the look of it but my GTI offers me the best of a lot of things and will do me for a while yet.
Besides I've just moved house and am as skint as it gets!

In fact there are loads of things in the VW range I like but I still think the GTI is the best blend of things (with a few enhancements)
