I've started to look at Golf VI, and think the 118 is the best option. I like the leather seats, and although I have a manual Golf at the moment, I've test driven the DSG, and think it is the way to go.
In Sydney the price I got quoted for the nearest available fit, 118 + DSG + Leather Sports Pack was 38K, which is about 5K off, but a bit of a premium to pay for the sports pack which does little for me.
- are the changes in suspension available with the sports pack useful?
I was originally looking at Black. Black looks great, but the more I think about it Black car + Black leather in summer seems a bold decision.
I think the next best alternative is the blue, but part of me keeps seeing it as an undercoat. I've only been to one dealer and they didn't appear to have any to see in person.
- what colours are selling (and would resell well) in Sydney-type climates? Of the very few VI I've seen on the road, they have been black, grey or that champagne colour.
- should I be overly concerned about this thread, and other comments about the DSG:

I didn't notice this on the car I drove. It's not clear to me if this is describing the way all 118 DSG work, or just some particular cars. I actually thought the DSG was good - but I'd hate to spend the extra for it and then find it annoying.
