Well leather and the adaptive suspension are standard items so really you just need to factor in the cost of the DSG.

You should be below $60k drive away, around $57-$58k, I guess. I paid $54k for a MY16 car exactly the same but with the manual 'box.

Basically stock DSG full price $60, 700. Do you have any chance of corparate pricing? If so you shoud be able to push for around $55-56K.

Hey guys, I have a question relating to the characteristic of the DSG in the Mk7 R and whether anyone else has experienced the pause that occurs in the gear changes between 1st and 2nd during hard acceleration particularly in sports auto? I find that performing the same hard acceleration in manual mode the gear change is instantaneous as it should be. I also find that in auto under hard acceleration it doesn't have the characteristic "fart" out the back for the 1st to 2nd change in auto and it only seems to happen in manual mode?

Having previously owned a Mk6 Gti I think that the R's DSG tune is a step backwards. The downshift rev matching in the R can be lazy and only seems to want to work if it gets enough warning and you are driving hard. The Gti would rev match every time no matter what the situation and the pop out the back was much louder in the Gti. The R has a habit of upshifting by itself when you hit redline whereas I don't remember the Gti ever doing that?

Anyone agree or do I have one of a kind?

I'd recommend having the DSG checked I have a R DSG changes are instantaneous Sport or Normal, the R DSG should feel similar to the GTI
