The only thing i have found is drive mode is a tad lazy and sport mode is a tad hectic/ noisy LOL, its better when you use the paddles though, would i go back to manual,  possibly, do i like DSG though,  yes  :smiley:

Now this made me think. Will the S-tronic box albeit it being faster take some of the fun away from driving when not going just in a straight line?

I have a TTS Roadster with S-Tronic and a Golf Gti with DSG in which I have just installed MFSW with the paddles which it was lacking. I have driven both with manual, and I understand some people prefer manual, I can only speak for me. :happy2:

Fun is added rather than taken away as far as I am concerned. If I was in a position to get an RS, I would definitely get the S-Tronic when it is available. :jumpmove:
