Re: The great gearbox debate ......

Good grief, how many of us have Golf R's. Might need to rename the site if this keeps up.

Re: The great gearbox debate ......

Previous Golf 7R was the 6spd DSG and I loved it in town in auto, for commuting. I loved it in manual/sport, especially out of town on my fave roads (B9119 ;-) ). My new (photocopy) Golf 7.5R is the 7sp DSG and I’m just not getting the love from the 7sp. 7th in normal auto is way too high geared (35...

Campbell - good catch about the DD - I was lucky to get a course every couple of years via work. Good solid training would suit her.
