I just picked this up on Friday a 2012 gti with dsg with only 27k kms on it with leather and satnav and rear parking sensor for a good price



I’m honestly shocked how quick it is stock very nice to drive

I had a look at that car a few weeks ago mate on my quest to find my own. Real genuine low km car that has been garaged most it's life, congrats on the pick up.

Thanks mate yeah I had been looking for a few months myself and was watching this one for a while watching the price go down and ended up picking it up for 22k. Has a few marks on the rear bar and just needed the dsg oil change but other than that I’m happy with it just not use to the dsg lol

I still have my polo 9n3 gti which I’m currently selling and I must say the polo is still quicker running stage 2 revo tune
Once I sell the polo I’ll play with the golf a little but I’ll most likely go to peak performance and go revo again if I tune it down the track

Hi.
I'm looking to buying a mark VI golf R.
Would prefer DSG over manual but want to avoid all the problems that come with it.

Anyone still around here in 2019. Seems like last post was months ago..

If you live in Sydney i would definitely recommend getting the DSG gearbox - much easier with all that traffic. The 6 speed DSG in the Mk6 GTI and R is generally a reliable unit, so apart from a service every 60,000km/4yrs it should be smooth sailing unless you are unlucky and get a clutch issue or mechatronics issue.

DSG was proven by the Mk6. Just needs the services done on time.

I have a manual in inner-city Sydney and don't have an issue. Torquey engine, light clutch, smooth/light gearbox. You just pick a gear and let the engine do the work. Traffic isn't a hassle.

Just go with what you prefer.

I can vouch for this statement, also have a manual and deal with Sydney traffic often. I've even got an upgraded clutch and it's fine. With the stock clutch it's a piece of piss!
