This.
I have an 8 speed DSG in my new BMW. Wouldn't every go back to a manual for a new car. Paddle shifters + sequential stick + lazy auto mode = win.

I drove a 330d Msport with that 8 speed box down to Brighton and back last year.... That beemer was the 'seed' that made me want a DSG!

I didn't mention it for fear of being excommunicated but the 1-series I drove was an auto and I did enjoy it, allowed me to concentrate solely on avoiding parked cars and bikes and I can see how it'd be a blessing for daily city drivers. My left hand still held on to the auto stick though, some habits are 4 LYFE I guess

My 2013 Scirocco has the DSG box. 2.0 177 derv engine. I would imaging the 2.0 Audi engine would be pretty simmilar?
I fuckin loves it.... total gamechanger! Will never buy another modern car with a manual gearbox. You can be a lazy bastard and just let the box do everything, or you can put it in manual and drive like a dickhead.
Best of both worlds!
