    2KN is the model code.
    I very much agree with two dogs about the seats. Lack of sideways support.

    You may have researched it by now however the Caddy DSG gearbox is in most simplistic terms still operated by the driver like a regular automatic gearbox in that you select D and just take off. The difference is in the internals between these types of "auto" gearboxes and they don't require any major difference in driving styles. A DSG box offers better fuel economy over traditional auto's because of the more efficient internal setup and can make gear changes faster then the best drivers using a manual gearbox. The big difference I noticed betwen the T5 auto and the Caddy DSG was the slight hesitation on take off and it's been mentioned also in recent Golf roadtests using a similar gearbox. It's not a major problem and you become adjusted to it, or i did at least after a few hours.
