Euro 5 - 6 speed vs Euro 6 - 5 speed
Scary to listen to the crunch from the DSG box when setting of .Is that Houston launch control?

Apart from the ones complaining about how rubbish DSG is; which it is.
Drive an 8 speed ZF auto to see what proper autos are like; leagues ahead of Definitely S**t Gearboxes.
Hesitant to the point of being dangerous, useless at fine control, rubbish at selecting the right gear. Oh and and beyond lazy changing, no advantage; my 8 speed auto is faster, better on fuel and lower on emissions than the manual. DSG is worse on all fronts.
Top Gear keeps complaining about the one in their long term T6.
Dreadful things. I'd rather walk.

Only those that can't drive properly.
They must have made it up then.
My post may be a little OTT but I can't understand why DSG box bores can't resist jumping in on every thread; what's the relevance?
We all have the option of choosing one, many of us CHOOSE not to have one.
I've driven four vehicles with the DSG box; all hateful. Really hateful.
As are DSG bores.
Hmmmmmmmm ok, I'm not a DSG owner, but can see the point of them, the thread WAS quite light hearted... But I suppose I'm one of those "bores", but then I don't care, as you've never met me.. Your opinions are put quite forcefully, so "OTT" I've another for you, but then I'd be banned! Isn't it a shame that we only have what VW decide to give us? And a surprise we buy them?
So there endeth my postings!
So there endeth my postings!
Must be an age thing, I need LED's to see at night and DSG to get me from A to B, I also confess to owning a Yeti (trading it in next month). OMG I'm middle aged/grey/approaching 60!

@Polzeylad At the greatest risk of offending I would suggest that you too are becoming a DSG bore only with a negativity that is becoming offensive.
I've got DSG and I'm really not offended, I'd rather everyone honestly says what they think,
Oh sorry, LAST comment, brought on by YOUR comment @Polzeylad that "we all have the option of choosing one" you obviously did not READ or UNDERSTAND my reference to motability! Some people have NO CHOICE! & they are certainly NOT "bores"!
THATS my final!
THATS my final!
No it isn't.
Yes some will need DSG for the reasons you allude to; if you think for one second I'm having a go at that group of people, you really are seriously misguided. But that is not only irrelevant to this discussion, it's also a cheap shot to try and win an argument.
You're a strange chap - you seem angry about everything but with no real focus. Sort of like an out of control machine gun firing shots all over the place rather than a well handled sniper rifle.
You've foxed many of us with your random rants - are you just ranting for the sake of ranting? Good to see your Dad "liking" your posts though....

The manual gearbox choice comes down to engine power output chosen rather than anything else though.

Newer 911s have a 7 speed manual; that would take a bit of getting used to; I think I could manage the minor adjustment to drive one though!
I can drive a manual, but it causes me a lot of pain and discomfort after a accident in a Lifeboat about 8 years ago.
I'm with you totally but I'm approaching 30 with haste & discrace!
