What could be better?



Having the driver to attain and maintain the skill of operating a 6-speed manual.



I'll second that. I've had the opportunity to open-track with DSG, and it takes away roughly 50% of what I enjoy about sporting driving.

And quite honestly, I'm not so row-boat slow with the old-school clutch and lever that moving to DSG makes such a monumental difference that I pee my pants with delight. My lasting take on the experience was simply "big bleepin deal".

Easy to go faster, hence the use in professional sport, but about as fulfilling as letting the pool boy pleasure your wife for you (unless your wife is mean or ugly or both), while you hold her legs and bark orders at him.

Oh, jeez, why can't I ever just shut up?? We've opened this pandora's box before. Suffice it to say, I enjoy a good DSG as much as I enjoy robot sex, and I admittedly should have stayed far away from this thread!!
Techno-gee-whiz geekerie, IMHO... You can have it.
