Is this Clubsport a replacement for the Edition 40?
It is indeed. It has little 40th Anniversary graphics as well as Clubsport logos.
I think VW have done a good job of making the 40th Edition a bit special and different.
@Brenbo:
I really think you'd need a test drive lasting several days to familiarise yourself with DSG and whether it suits your driving style or the roads you use it on.
I've spent a few periods of time with DSG and BMW autoboxes and prefer manual boxes for more rural driving as I just find I can set the car up for a quick bend a bit more smoothly. I also like the turbo spool feeling as the torque ramps up at peak boost which is masked with a DSG. City driving lends itself better to the DSG and cross country it doesn't matter either way as these cars have so much torque over such a Rev range you rarely have to change gear!
DSG just requires a bit of adaption and you'll find it either suits your driving or it won't.
If you're really happy with a manual then maybe you can say "why change?" But if you fancy a DSG you can say "why not?"
Most people on here who try it say they'd never go back.
It's just a bit artificial for me. It's the car equivalent of autocorrect.
