In my opinion it takes away a bit ofthe driving involvement so would prefer a manual gearbox, also just something else that "could" go wrong once out of warranty.

I agree with you totally on this one Kev, i have always liked a manual box and feel more involved (specially coming from a Type R) but i have heard nothing but good things about the DSG gearbox. All i keep telling myself is i'm not old enough to be that lazy yet  :wink:.

The Gti is a great car though, i certainly haven't looked back.

Happy hunting  :jumpmove:

Test drive one and ask yourself again. Thats the only way to know whether you'll  "Have to have it". Both great in either way tbh.

not wishing to spoil your thread but I would definitely try one  :happy2:, the DSG vs manual issue isnt as simple as it first seems.

manual : great feel and driver involvement but ultimately slower , and need an expensive clutch to handle lots of torques
DSG      : brilliant , quicker , yes its expensive if it breaks but it seems pretty reliable. gearbox remap means a DSG can handle almost as many torques as you can throw at it (short of a BT kit!)

Both great , both very different  :happy2:

Dont want to try and convert you but why not get a leon cupra? Can get one for cheaper and it already has 5 doors and  10 more bhp standard :)
