or is it standard on R32's anyway? i really should've paid more attention when i was nosing around them at the dealership

it does yea. can tell by the gear stick... up\down, no\left right action there! lol

[SteveS]

can also tell its the old model as the buttons on the radio are black and not silver on the new one

TBH you cant tell from that pic if it does have paddles - I also remember a time you couldnt spec paddle shift if you had the MFSW (as in that pic). Just cause it has DSG don't mean it will have paddles

and those seats are gash

[SteveS]

theres only two options isnt there? DSG and manual.... its not manual...

thats what i was wondering, i remember the paddles being an extra option on top of dsg when i was speccing a gti.. didn't know if you could tell by the buttons on the steering wheel or something.

on early dsg models you had to spec the pedals from the options as as someone said there were some conflicts when you couldnt have them with other then.

All recently DSG come with paddles as standard. Way it should be!

You would think so wouldn't you? But there are GTI's/R32's knockin about that have DSG but no paddles were there wouldn't have been a conflict Who on earth would pay all that extra for DSG only to omit the paddles is beyond me

oh well, doesn't matter anymore anyway

At first the paddles were an option. Didn't they cost a couple of hundered quid at the time?
