I was sold on the DSG after the first drive of a 118TSI last year. Not so great in a TDi IMHO. For an old cog swapper like me who learned to drive with a 3 speed crash box on an old FJ holden (in the 1970's) and driving some ancient trucks, I still enjoy the manual change. Gives me a feeling of control. But the DSG can do it faster, and from some test driving, better, than I can.

Enjoy the Golf (I will be tomorrow!)
