DSG for commuters and racers but a manual is still more fun for the fun stuff! The CSS is manual only for example so manuals still can't be *that* archaic. Enjoy it while you still can, there are some things a DSG still can't do. Horses for courses.
However DSG's can at least be mapped to cope with the torque a bit better but you won't want to be paying for repairs if it does go bang.
The manual R has a riveted steel cage over the ECU to prevent tampering but the DSG R's don't. That tells you quite a lot.
