DSG or Manual
« on: April 23, 2011, 08:52:37 pm »
Hi All,

I know this has been asked quite a few times in the past, and I have searched and read the threads. I'm looking for a Edition 30 but not sure wether to look at DSG or Manual. I had my heart set on manual, but after watching some youtube videos and reading the threads on here I'm now undecided. I'd like to hear what your opinions are, what are the best and worse bits of DSG? Are there any features of the DSG gearbox that you don't use?

The idea of being able to keep both hands on the steering wheel whilst attacking a A or B road sounds brilliant.

Thanks

George

Beedie casts his line into the water. The conditions are calm and favourable for a good days fishing. His experience tells him the bait he is using could catch a number of fish, but as we all know the first fish to take the bait is often the very common fully scaled. ???
