DSG or Manual

Nice one - don't forget the launch control advantage too!

Here's me in my old R32 doing its stuff in the rain!

Doc you nutter - you didn't have your seat belt on 
Also, I hate seeing anything that reminds me of the Mk5 R32 - I really miss that car but I don't think I could live with the fuel consumption and ridiculous tax band... but I am planning on getting one next year    if my investments go as planned. I'll probably be picking up the car next year, but keep the Edition 30 too.

Thanks for that.. I've driven a DSG R32 for 10 weeks and covered 11,000 miles in that time - yes 11,000 - and although the Evo reviewer Neil has some valid points, I personally was won over to DSG because it suits the R32 brilliantly.  In fact so much so that you'd almost think it was designed for the R32.  I would never buy a manual R32 after that experience.

Nope, looks like its going to go to the Stealers... I'll still be making enough on the money -hopefully - to make it worthwhile.  Plus I'll end up with a new zero mileage DSG Edition 30 in October. I was going to order another via the stealers but I've got a sneaky suspicion that Edition 30's will be available to order for a while yet. So I will be going down the broker route in July and getting some money off - I went through Broadspeed and was offer over £1000 off a couple of weeks ago but I wasn't ready to order at the time.
