Civic type R owner, looking to change
Phil Mcavity:
Suggest you go test drive a dsg car at a vw dealer and see if you like
it . Great fun and worth paying for. But coming from a stick shifter CTR
you may wanna stick with a manual.
Nickyboy:
Does the DSG mean paddles or tiptronic stick shift? Or are both options? I think I'd struggle with a paddle shift, wouldn't know what gear I was in :confused:
Phil Mcavity:
DSG imo is awesome. You can drive it like your sat in an F1 racing car.
Gear changes are done in Milliseconds with no lag in power, just the great sound of the exhaust burping out the rear, and no faid in lost torque that you would get using a clutch.
Its a very diverse box, tells you on the dash computer what gear your in and is totally safe so you cant get a gear change wrong.
Go test it, its not your conventional Auto, but can be driven in so many ways depending on your driving style.
It does all the changes for you, even for when you pull to a stop , you dont have to downshift etc, or put it in manual to have fun shifting yourselve.
Honestly go test drive one, try both models to see what floats your boat.Its the only way to make your own decision.
Ive had 4 DSG cars and wont go back to a manual. Im 35 and quite a fast driver on occasion and absolutley love it.
You can use the gearstick to shift or use paddles mounted on the steering wheel so your hands stay on the wheel.
