Seconded!

I love my R and the way it corners. Yes, it does feel heavier on turn-in and can be a bit harder to settle down but on the apex it's mighty. It really is a slow-in, fast-out car.

The only thing that would have stopped me buying the R is the PP with a manual 'box. Same for the Wolfie R (where I would have gained the Pretorias and the blue paint).

A manual 'box is crucial for engagement IMO and the DSG GTI & R left me flat.

See I used to drive a Polo GTi and then before that it was a DC2 and I loved the manual box in that. However after driving the DSG I'm pro DSG now, reasons:

Awesome in traffic
Paddle shift option
Sports mode
Quicker shifting
Launch Control

I believe manual benefits in more engaging as you say, and obviously cheaper allround.
