Re. the DSG / manual dilema?

Hi, fairly new to the DUB scene!  I had the same concerns when choosing between the DSG and manual option....? I love manual, but after much back n' forth and chatting with a mate who's works as car journo with Parkers, I decided to go for the DSG!  I've had the car (MKV GTi) for about four weeks and I can enthusiastically say so far.... NO regrets! I don't have the paddles shift just stick sequential, but still extremely satisfying when you wanna have fun and some control.  Or, engage 'Sport' and let it do all the work.  D is fantastic on motorway traffic, jams, economical etc.  I've had some envious mates in the passenger seat..   :wink:    

The future in my opinion - hope this helps in your decision  :happy2:

oh and welcome!  :grin:

Cheers :)

I've pretty much made my mind up on DSG, so your post has just sealed the deal :)

Defo want one of the K04 models, just seen a well priced 09 plate Pirelli so might take a look at that. 

I really wanted a white Ed30, but all of the colours seem to look the tits, so not too fussed now :)

Looking forward to getting one :)

Russ I remember you from the Clio and meganesport forums, I used to have an r26 liquid yellow and I only had it for just over 6 months before changing to a GTI, although I've just gone for standard not ED30.

GTI is different kettle of fish from r26 better all round motor but still very capable when needs be, better driving position which makes it more comfortable to drive mines feels like I'm driving a 200bhp sofa, that for me was one of the downfalls with an r26 was the lack of adjustment in the seats. I currently have a manual but will be considering a dsg when I look to change prob go for a mint ED30 or mk6.

Ello Russ I'm in virtually the same position as you but I couldn't live with my R26 and only kept it 4 months as it just didn't do it for me I mean yes It's a great backroad and track car but it just wasn't a good enough allrounder for me.
Anyway I'm looking to get a dsg ed30 next year if I get on with my gt tsi which I have to say is a great car so far and if I'm still enjoying it next year then I think I'll give an ed30 a go so do me a favour russ do us a mini review and let me know how you get on.
