To any of you GTI drivers who previously preferred manual transmissions: How do you like and compare the GTI stick shift with the GTI DSG dual clutch tranny?
I suppose I need to test drive a DSG myself before writing off the dsg as 'just another automatic transmission'... I get that its a dual clutch tranny and can be operated in auto as well as true manual mode... But for someone who came up with slushboxes since the '70s, and has always preferred to row his own gears, its hard not to see all versions of automatic trannies as slush box trannies... got to get over that..
