I'm Manuel which I enjoy but starting to wish I had DSG purely for the fact that I could go stage 2 and not have to worry about clutch slip  :sad1:

A proper dsg convert. Had it on my gti and now my edition 30. Can't see me ever wanting a manual car again! (Unless it's a crappy elastic band gearbox!)

However my Drift car is manual as the Nissan autos are utter turd and you can't clutch kick the life out of them

DSG. Didn't go looking for it, and my car was advertised as a manual by VW on their site. The HPI check I did the night before came back as a Semi-Auto - I felt a bit disappointed, but I decided to go and try it anyway...how glad I am that I made that trip!

The only time I miss manual gears is that DSG lacks the ability to skip gears up or down the box. Can be tiresome in manual DSG mode going through every gear ...6-5-4-3-2-1, when in a manual car I would combine braking with the downchanges 6-4-2-1, for example.

Manual - I don't fancy £1500 repair bills  :scared:

My fear is that particularly on the older MK5's, as these units get to 10yrs old and 100k miles and get a bit of wear on the internals, they may get a bit sloppy, jerky, mis-shifts or worse  :surprised:

DSG problem threads getting more and more common. . .

Well.... Bare in mind you have to spend 1000quid on an uprated clutch for manual if you remap, don't have that bother with DSG
