S-Tronic vs Manual

(1/4) > >>

Poverty:
As some of you might or might not know Im waiting for the TTRS s-tronic to be released, because in a straight line it will be considerably quicker than a manual due to the lightning shifting.

However out on a blast today in the K1 and I was really enjoying rowing through the gears, going through bends etc etc

Now this made me think. Will the S-tronic box albeit it being faster take some of the fun away from driving when not going just in a straight line?

Also the s-tronic box sometimes can get issues which would leave me in a bad position if warranty work is required and the car is heavily modified.

Basically I would just like the opinion of people who have owned both s-tronic and manual vags and what they prefered.

Secretly I hope people will say, ye the s-tronic is great but the manual is more fun, so I can stop waiting and just go out and get one!

But if the verdict is s-tronic all the way I will go back to trying to wait

I didn't know they were going to an S-tronic, I thought there was too much torque? I heard the Audi's box is mounted differently so it doesn't have any issues, not sure how true that is.

Its a new 7 speed s tronic box, which was originally designed for the transporter!

Well I think this review should help you, I know it's a TT S but his verdict on the gearbox should help you. Also Chris Harris is a proper driver.

andrewparker:
What review is that then? :wink:
