Sorry if this has been discussed before, i'm new to thread and don't really know how to work it so didn't find anything of the sort.
However, I am looking to buy a MK5 GTI DSG in the range of 75k to 95k miles. I've seen a lot of talk on the internet saying that DSG's out of warranty are no good as they go bad etc etc. I was wondering would it be stupid to go for a DSG at this mileage? What are your thoughts?
Thanks.
Nat

Just check that:
Potential cars have had regular maintenance - DSG service less than 40k miles apart
When you test drive - once warmed up - from stand still it should pull smoothly away with no jerkiness
They are a rewarding drive in the twisties, a joy round town and they are quicker than a manual, can even be re-mapped
- I cant think of a reason not to just do it!
