The Golf R manual ‘box also has a very low second gear which can be a bit frustrating.
Not as frustrating as DSG often is when attempting gentle acceleration and ending up with the TCU having a committee meeting about whether to change down, just slip the clutch or knock it down too many gears for no reason.
It’s well worth holding out for a decent Ed40. And I mean a decent one, many won’t be by now.
