DSG and 6spd Manual (living in harmony)

[kirk180]

im not seeing a trend :wink:

I'm not seeing a trend either. Except it seems that possibly some of the younger kids (16, 17, 18, and a couple a few years older) have only had auto's and perhaps can't drive a stick. Therefore opting for the DSG. Then your older (mid 30's and up) have the DSG also. They've done manual before and are just outgrowinig it. But then again there's a few mid 20's that can probably drive a stick that still got the DSG. But I'd be willing to bet that a handful opted for the DSG because they couldn't drive a stick. So perhaps some of the "Pro" DSG people say what they do because they don't know how to drive a 6 spd manual.:iono:
But you're right, the numbers are scattered everywhere.

21 and DSG (though both my previous cars were proper manuals...)

 

[dmclone]

35 DSG

DSG may have been the deciding factor between the GTI and SI

30 - 6spMT

First "new" car I've bought with a MT... haven't driven a stick as a daily driver in 10+ years... I'm beginning to wonder... what was I thinking????

27 - DSG
3rd worst city for traffic.
I do miss shifting for myself, but I don't miss the clutch pedal.

99 Subaru Impreza RS - 5sp Manual
06 VW GTI (On it's way, take delivery next week) - DSG

I'm 22. Bought the DSG more for the daily commute to work while still having the ability to pick my gears.

All of my previous cars in the UK were manual. I went for the DSG because traffic in the US seems to be stop-start all the time and I am sure I would get tired of working that clutch pedal.

32 6spd

I can see no real trend... I thought the younger guys would be opting more for the DSG but it does not seem to be that way
