Much like sex, it's more about the feel than how fast you can do it. :thumbsup:

Got to drive a MT cooper S for a few months over summer, so I pretty much got my sickness taken care of I'd switch cars every time I went out

Being stuck in 40 min outbound Holland Tunnel traffic yesterday reminded me how much of an amazing compromise the DSG is

Yep, definitely. If you drive in traffic daily, the DSG is the way to go.

Thankfully no traffic for me, so manual all the way!

Being stuck on 95 for 3 hours trying to drive 36 miles made me want to trade my manual in.

stick rules, more intimate experience and gives more control over the car.

and yes traffic sucks but prob only drawback.

+1 I sold my BMW e90 which was AutoTragic, and now have my awesome Golf R 6MT!!!

At least I dont have to hold my brake while im sitting there... and as previously stated: love the coasting.

The feeling of holding that stick and putting it where it belongs is like no other. Ok, that sounded a bit weird

No matter how bad sitting in traffic is on and around campus, banging through the gears right when you get out of traffic is completely worth having a manual.

I'va had this MT for a year and a half now, and I do kinda wish I had a DSG. While the MT keeps you engaged, the 1-2 shifts around town and the lurching and notchy shifter sometimes gets annoying.

I would love a DSG GTI as a daily and an M3/Cayman/911 etc... in stick for the weekend or when I feel like rowing my own gears.
