I own a 2017 GTI 6spd. I bought it brand new, and currently have 93k miles on the car. Here are my thoughts regarding the manual for this car. Remember, this is all my own opinion, coming from someone with experience with the manual transmission:In looking for my first GTI I have been holding out for a 6MT, but have noticed the DSGs are trading at $1-3k less than MTs.
Curious if others have had the debate and made the choice to switch based on availability and price? especially in this current market, seems everything it trading at a premium.
Is your DSG tuned?Drive what you like but it is strange hearing that manuals have better resale when it is the opposite in Sweden even with how rare manual MK7 GTI/R are here. Probably something to do with Americans thinking of manuals as sporty and special when Europeans does that for DCT transmissions.
But as an DSG GTI owner my biggest issue with it is the gearing, 4th is way to tall to the point that it is not really faster than a manual or R when it would be if it had the shorter gearing like the Clubsport, Cupra or TCR.
I believe the manual holding value better. They’re getting scarce. And emissions getting tighter and tighter makes the manual give a shitty experience (stock) while making manufacturers considering axing manuals all togetherDrive what you like but it is strange hearing that manuals have better resale when it is the opposite in Sweden even with how rare manual MK7 GTI/R are here.

And in NA GTIs is the biggest golf seller right? In Sweden the R outsells the GTI and out of 2400 MK7 Golfs for sale on Blocket only 100 is over 200 hp.I believe the manual holding value better.

I’ve no idea which version of the golf sells more here in North America. I’d defer to u.And in NA GTIs is the biggest golf seller right? In Sweden the R outsells the GTI and out of 2400 MK7 Golfs for sale on Blocket only 100 is over 200 hp.
Get a manual whilst car manufactures still make them...
