If I may : The Auto / DSG Gearbox is the best invention since sliced toast (and the GPS and Golf and of course sex and so on ...
)
Seriously : I have been a " manual driver" for 30 years.
I bought the Touareg V6Tdi and Golf V 2,0 Tdi and now the Roadster TT in " DSG" - A manual gearbox will never see me again.
Sorry I do not want to influence your petition. Just my 2 pennies worth.
