Same here. When I’ve subsequently driven a manual courtesy car when my car’s in the garage for servicing, can’t wait to get back into my car :smiley:.

I’ve had an auto box for nearly 25 years and would never go back to manual. The VW DSG is a work of art IMO, super smooth and seamless shifts.

I think I've made my mind up, TCR, get used to the DSG and avoid the possible flakiness of the 8CS till the 8.5CS comes down in price, sorted :)

Anyone selling a TCR? :)
