I was impatient and didn’t want to wait to find a 6 speed TDI and I am/have been the type of person to say I’d never own an automatic. Regardless, the more I drive the DSG the more I love it! It does not replace a manual and if they had one in stock I would have bought the 6 speed however this thing has really grown on me and I am very happy with it. Here are a few cool videos comparing the two transmission.

There fun to drive, but on the same note, they can take the fun out of driving too. There’s both great in their own respects IMO. ---
