your opinions on the DSG?

[TagnuT]

RedRobin..............What .........What ...........I was expecting to see aload of GTI wall papers.............NOT such filthy eye candy.............

[RedRobin]

....There's plenty more temptresses where she came from! It's the silver chair I was ogling of course! I was looking for GTI wallpapers, honest!, but got distracted on the way - Evil place, the internet....Wicked Wild Web of entrapment by lurking creatures from planet Venus.

MMMMMMMMMM.....that's delicious.....the chair isn't bad either, It'd be better if she was wearing silver...mmmmmmmmmm

Err...sorry Monza..got a bit distracted

I'd go for the black one

hmmm, it hasnt got the 18's on....... at has midline computer, nor paddles on the steering wheel, if i was you, id haggle on the price for the black one, get em to knock it down by about £300 and get the multifuntion wheel with paddles if the current one hasnt. Paddles in DSG go hand in hand imo.(about £300 will pay for the new steering wheel). otherwise, she does look good. make sure youve read the service history, and check it on vw;s system to see where its been serviced etc.

Paddles were an optional extra once upon a time.  They are standard now.  Can't remember when they became standard.  Only the last year or two I think.  Someone here will be able to tell you.

[LaserBlue]

damn didnt know that the paddles were an extra option from ne

i thought you could select either manual or dsg which includes the paddles?

[MikeGTI]

I've got a July 05 model that has DSG but no paddles. They were an optional extra, however Phils right in his comments about getting a new wheel with paddles retro-fitted for £300.

Had the paddles on my Audi and whilst I did like them aren't missing them at the moment.
