I would definitely go for a DSG car with paddles.  I hardly ever use the stick - only when coming out of some junctions.

It's another item on the list of things to look out for I'm afraid.  Make sure you ask the dealers if a DSG car has the paddles.

I have dsg...it does what it says on the tin and soo much more.. :drool:....trust me/ us all its a new and better driving experience...if you are unsure take one for a drive, not just a wee diddy 10 min round the block run either...a proper blast  :evil:.  Just check out you tube for evidence,  and not just the Top/ Fifth Gear journos opinions.

Also if you are in the market for a second hand car, dont be put off by one which has DSG and no flappies there are a good few about.....remember you can easily retro fit MF steering wheel with flappies at a reasonable cost, get a main dealer to quote you.

Well mine agreed to do it, so there are ones out there that will.

There's even a guide to doing it yourself on a forum somewhere its that easy.

....I would complain to VW UK about any VW dealer that refuses to help - It's inexcusable in my opinion! :angry:

Yep i think it costs circa £300 or thereabouts...phone round a few, God knows there are plenty of them.

Its certainly not worth rejecting a really good DSG example due to the fact that it doesn't have the flappies each side of the steering wheel!
