I think that ends this topic, may as well lock it now and be done.

Get a low mileage manual ED30 all day, IMO looks better than the MK6, can have 300bhp+ with just a map and panel filter.

And a new clutch while your at it    budget one if you remap it and are an enthusiastic driver...something DSG  owners don't have to worry about at any stage 

Guess your saying Formula 1 is sh*t because it's full of Automatic gears? 

[Matthewsimone]

Yes F1 is sh$te  worst most booring form of racing ive ever seen, rather watch paint dry 

Standard Manual Gti everytime for me chaps 

[th3_f15t]

Techinically F1 cars still have a clutch which is used at launch so they're a manual.

I'll stick with my queer gears and have this as company

I've just been driving a manual for the first time since driving with a DSG for a while.

With 6 gears in modern cars you are always changing gear - I'm really noticing it now.  Fine if you like control but around town...stop start stop start stop start.

I think I prefer DSG or perhaps I'm just lazy.

I LOVE my DSG, it suits the driving I do extremely well, effortlessly through the miles then bury the foot and it just goes.

This said, even with Sport and Manual...I do miss the old stick shift and do long for a go in a proper manual GTi.

Wouldn't swap it though...

How much does a new mechatronic unit cost these days?

And a DSG remap to make the box do what it should do

I do love my manual, but if I was about to dump £10K into a new veedub, it'd probably have to have DSG despite the repair costs it'd suit having fully auto around town and commuting then sport mode for the twisty B-roads.

  yep im sorry im aware that the vw Dsg box is one of the best in the business but you will never take my gearstick off me unless i lose a leg  i want my next or previous gear precisely when i choose it not when a computer decides i should have it

About the same as a decent clutch and a new DMF
