Make sure you test drive the DSG if you haven't already. I used to be one of those "I'll never drive an automatic sports car" guys, until I drove the DSG GTI. In fact I probably still wouldn't drive an auto sports car, UNLESS it came with a DSG gearbox or something as good as it

Completely and 100% agree, I said manual and only manual for my R until I was thrown the keys for the DSG for a test drive earlier this year.....

I'll have to make sure that my bro-in-law test drives the DSG before they are convinced about a manual but think that's unlikely as he only learned how to drive manual at the start of the year... He's fallen in love haha

I guess it is like good wines, it is an acquired taste.. but I agree.. hard to go back to a standard box
Wait till he learns how to use the paddles,

26 years of ONLY manual cars. The R was always going to be a manual - that was until i drove the DSG.
I only had 10 minutes with it (test drive) but thought it the way to go so ordered a DSG. 9 Months waiting and still unsure if I made the right decision.
Well I have done 4000km now and love it. Its a great box for round town and its also a great box when punting it around corners.
Its actually quite an amazing box and I am very happy I ticked the option.
I still have my WRX and although fun to drive I'll take the DSG anyday (except a race track)

Lets not turn this into a DSG vs Manual thread... there are already plenty of those. This is the Golf GTI Edition 35 thread.
Lets just conclude the DSG vs Manual discussion with both langers_sydney (pro DSG) and Ideo (pro Manual) are correct. As long as you have test driven both, whichever option you then select is the correct informed decision for you. i.e. Test drive the DSG so that you're making your own informed decision.
