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.
