I drive a 2015 volkswagen golf gti with the dsg transmission to try and answer the question manual or dsg..... big thank you to vorderman volkswagen for allowing me to drive this car for my video. In respect to dsg vs manual. i was in the same boat a few years ago when buying a mk5 golf gti. i wanted a manual and wasn’t at all interested in dsg. but an amazing spec mk5 came up local very cheap. it was of course dsg. i bought it and fell in love with the gearbox. vw golf r mk7 chat ; dsg or manual. The volkswagen golf mk7 (also known as the golf vii) is a compact car, the seventh generation of the volkswagen golf and the successor to the volkswagen golf mk6. it was announced in berlin on 4 september 2012, before a public launch at the 2012 paris auto show..
However, i have spent the day researching the net about the dsg gearbox problems that have plagued vw group in the previous few years and im unsure if i should now go with a manual transmission. from what ive read it seems to be more the dq200 that has problems rather than the dq250 used in the golf r mk7 but im still unsure.. The manual is cheaper an more fun, the dsg is great in traffic and keeps your left foot very relaxed. is a golf gti better with a manual or a dsg? m
