I have always preferred manuals and the feel and control that you get with them. I have driven many DSG's (I have several friends and family with VAG cars, and i have driven many Audi's with DSG and even an R8 V10 with R-Tronic). Don't get me wrong, they are a great gearbox, but is the reason so many people have chosen them simply based on the fact that they are 0.5 seconds than a manual faster from 0-100kph? Or is it because you live in a big city and the start-stop traffic is annoying with a manual? Can can you or your partner not drive (or dont like driving) a manual? Or is it something else?

Im just surprised how many people are taking up the DSG option. I know times are changing and that many supercar makers are now switching to this type of technology, but in a sporty car, it has always been a manual gearbox that everyone craves............not anymore it seems.
A combination of all the reasons you have outlined.. for mine it is primarily the city traffic issue, if I were to have another toy car then it would be manual.
