    Yeah but nothing beats the fun of surprising the falcadores etc at the lights in your hairdresser SUV....

    Perhaps the SQ5's greatest strength is its absolute competency at almost everything and the ability to go sub 5 with so little fuss and uproar - I am glad I made the decision. I rarely miss the DSG these days, particularly if caught in traffic and the 8 speed Z box is a pretty smart piece of kit and as soon as it locks up, which is quickly, it's a solid drive line so no real difference.
    That said, my wife's R Line Tig with the APR tune for ECU and gearbox is also a delight to drive and in sports mode the handling is impressively tidy - it just likes a drink of the 98 when hoofing around.

    I sometimes feel like I'm the only Manual Diesel Tig in AUS with a BSR tune . I'm European and allergic to automatics so I had to look far and wide for a manual. I got the BSR tune about 6 months ago (for some $1000 deal, down from $1300) and I never looked back. My partner said she felt no difference but after I secretly flashed back to stock after a few months she said we should get it to the shop cause it's broken and it runs really slow ). I grew up learning to feel the engine through a manual and the BSR tune to 190HP plus a VAG racing air filter really make a big difference especially after the turbo kicks in. IT also sounds like petrol at high revs now and I constantly kept a eye on fuel and reliability. No issues so far, 163.000km last 30.000 on BSR.

    I'd been wondering about manuals, as all of the tune discussions I have seen is on cars with DSG fitted (such a sad state of affairs in my opinion). Thanks for sharing as it gives me some food for thought.
