Add a VR6 with a magnaflow and those crisp, plaid seats will never be the same again.Shifting gears makes bitches wet.

And a well timed hand brake turn drops those panties.
Don't DSG's have the little electic hand brake button? Poor DSG guys and gals are never getting laid.

Curious if others have had the debate and made the choice to switch based on availability and price?
The one thing I'm still cranky about IS hill assist.It's completely up to you man. Everyone has their own reasons for why they went with the option they did. That reason can totally not apply to you and your decision, lol.
I went for manual knowing DSG was superior in a drag because, well, I'm not dragging... I totally prefer the driving experience and engagement I get out of manual. If you don't, that is totally fine with you. The DSG is a fantastic automatic from what I hear but don't kid yourself because in the end, that is what it is. It'll take all the "labor" work out of the experience (paddles don't count). If you're down for the rowing of the gears, then you know what you want already.
I'll add, some people said because of traffic, manual is a bad option. This is questionable. I've been stuck in traffic hella times and the fact that I act on instinct driving manual, I don't even realize I'm doing anything to keep the car moving. In fact, I'm probably on my phone, multi-tasking and whatever, while I'm slowing perching the car forward and I don't even realize it. I will say however, hill assist is hella awesome because if there is one thing I do not miss from my prior manual cars was the lack of that feature. I drove my buddies Genesis manual once he bought it not too long ago and he had it parallel parked infront of his home on a hill. Holy crap did that scare the bejesus out of me when I had to get out of that spot with his brand new car, lol. It's been awhile since hills/rolling backwards have been an "issue".
Only the DSG R's have the little button. DSG GTI's have the old fashioned handbrake.
DSG. This from a diehard manual fan.
because manual has lost its appeal to me. The 1-2 shift on mk7's essentially made me sell my car, even after a lot of manual trans mods and bolt ons. No sense polishing a turd
I love how some MK7 guys are so die hard about having a manual, when the manual in the MK7 isn't even good.
I could at least understand the argument for passing up the DSG to drive a brilliant manual. I wouldn't pass up a filet mignon for a ribeye, but I get it. Driving a manual MK7, you're passing up a filet mignon for Spam.
At the end of the day a shit manual is still better than driving DSG. Either you want an enthusiast car or you don't. If you don't then it doesn't matter.
My first GTI was DSG, it was slow, clunky and boring at normal speeds and ultimately taught me that there's just no substitute for manual.
The manual isn't even bad anyway. One $70 short shifter and a spring removal and you're good to go.

Don't like it one bit. Don't need it. Don't want it. Don't like it...and I live on a hill in a very hilly area.
That being said, I get why others appreciate it.
Dick in my hand you say?DSG = celibacy.
I think we figured this out. I think if you want to go .5 of a second faster with your dick in your hand for the rest of your life, get a DSG. If you want to get head, smash ass and get high fives from everyone that's cool, you gotta roll with the 6MT.
