    Never spent a cent on mine and out of warranty

    A Golf is a money pit in general.

    I came to the Golf from a modified 2001 Audi S3.

    You think gen VW parts are expensive? Try paying for the same parts but from an Audi dealership...

    Havent had ANY dramas whatsoever with my DSG .

    It's technically brilliant, but it lacks soul. as much as I like te DSG, I love the oldschool manual stick....however in saying that the manual on teh GOlf R was rather notchy....nothing like what I expected. DSG was seamless. But its getting a bit boring for me now...

    No, it was more that the Golf isn't reliable

    I am here: Google Maps
    I have a manual aswell... im loving the manual..being able to hold it in whatever gear i want it to be in! Would have maybe got DSG but thought it might get boring after 3-4 months..that being said..the gf is struggling to drive it as its very touchy..so she probably would have preferred DSG so that she could just put it in "D" she better start getting used to it though because I'm lovin the car that much I will keep it until the new shape comes out! my first VW..and I can say im converted! no more sti's or evos for me
