I've had my GTI for just little under a year now and I find it's hard to drive as smoothly as an automatic.
Maybe I'm trying to drive to hard to drive smoothly thus making it even worst. Someday I have really good feel and I drive really smooth. Sometime I drive really bad. Feels like shooting basketball, you have momentum sometimes and sometimes you don't.
One thing I notice is there is a huge lag with the on board computer in processing the throttle input, it's not direct. With the same throttle input, the resulting RPM can be different from time to time.
