Maybe you are missing the good old manual gear box?  Same happened to me with my previous DSG A3.

This happened to me a few weeks ago as well. I was driving a Seat Leon rental around which was a manual.

But then when I got back in the DSG ED30 I did come back round to liking the DSG. Just easier around town.

I think they are fantastic. You'll always get the diesel-haters but for the performance against cost (to run) it's hard to go wrong. You've got to love the torque too. I think I'd rather have a DSG TDI though, suits the narrower power band better.

I like the GTD's as well and it will be on my list to test drive in about 12 months when I change my car as I need a diesel in my life now.

My car was in for a service yesterday and they gave me a brand new Mk 6 ABT TDI and I was mightily impressed with that apart from the gash body kit :stupid:  The actual car was luuuuuuuuurvely to drive and went really well.  I must say it's the best courtesy car I've ever had and is better than the 1.2 Polo they were going to give me!

Still not warning to the MK6 styling...  Phil Mcavity what's a DSG service - and when is it done?
Title: Re: Why Do i love this car???
Post by: Phil Mcavity on December 04, 2009, 07:18:28 pm
40,000 miles . Dsg Gearbox requires an gearbox oil and Filter change.

Seems a touch smoother in D mode since.

I drove a dsg one in July and quite liked it

Post by: rainking on December 04, 2009, 10:45:55 pm
that's a stout courtesy car....

last one I had was a Mk6 SE TDI... and I had to put up a fight to avoid the 1.2 petrol Polo's and 1.0 Fox's they were offering....

Which dealer was it!  :grin: (the GTI is due a service early next year! haha!)

Don't be tempted by the lure of the devil's juice on a MKVI. You know what hapeened last time Steve.

Loads of money spent and you ended up in 2 other cars before getting Phylis :laugh:

can't believe you got a brand spanking new GTD to run around in!

I get pansy Polo 1.4's or poverty spec Golf 1.6's.

Next time I'm asking for something nicer!

I am very good friends with 2 of the sales staff, so i get to use their motors instead of the Bus'es they hand out normally.Had the White Mk6 Gti last time out, and a Green scirocco too.

I just recently had a service at Audi, you have to call 2 weeks in advance to arrange a courtesy car if you are having any work done, WTF!? You are a lucky boy Steve  :wink:
