Dans grey MK5 GTI. Prepping for VagTuner
DANBOY66:
dan my mate has a manual s3 and he wished he got a dsg as they are so much quicker he is at stage2+
you can't compare an s3 to an r32 as they are so much faster when played with and lets face it your s3 will not be standard for long
dansmith180:
Haha that is true.
Honestly I don't think I'll ever go DSG, at the end of the day I'm not timing myself so a few seconds faster or slower doesn't matter. For me it how engaging the drive is and I don't think DSG is as good as a manual.

4WD and DSG..... Boring
I know it would be fast but unless it has big power it wouldn't be very fun to drive. I tried a DSG R32 and it was pants to drive.

DSG & 4WD = best combination IMHO (and I drive a manual ed30) :laugh:
You can't make full use of the 4WD's launch capabilities with a manual clutch. Also bare in mind you will have to upgrade the clutch even with just a remap with a manual.
ETTO of course, but try the launch control on a DSG before making a decision. This is how Hurdy & Jussa's get 3.0second (and below) 0-60 times :notworthy:

I think the problem is a test drive isn't enough to really decide, 20 minutes isn't long enough to really get to know a gearbox. In a dream world I would borrow a remapped one for a week to make a fully informed choice.
I understand why people get DSG because for raw speed it's unbeatable. My problem is you dont get the enjoyment of knowing you've achieved something by making those changes yourself, instead the car did 90% of the hard work for you with 4WD traction control and DSG you're just pointing it.

Car looks awesome.
Remember seeing this when I popped into Elite Car Care couple months back. Think you were driving it in to change the oil? Don't know if you remember?
Merc wheels suit it really well. Thought it looked great in the metal!
