i drive my dads ed30 with dsg. its just awesome. so smooth. he's had a c220cdi and 320d before and the dsg is by far the smothest and quickest. he says 'its got the gearbox from a lambo this' ok pops!
i borrow it to get from derby to lancaster to see my girlfriend at uni, and it returns good mpg when not rushed. certainly better on fuel than my mk2. saying that, i often get home and my cars missing!
