mmm, I passed on a DSG 2.0T GTI the other day...got an audi A4 2.0T 6MT instead...the DSG was nice, 0-60 in 6 seconds is neat, but I really preferred the interior of the Audi...and quattro.

Damn, even nicer!..Enjoy the ride 🙂

If your too tired to shift, ya shouldn't be drivin' so its kind of like a Pro 😉

A GTI with a Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG), as opposed to manual.

GTI?......a VW GTI? as in a GOLF GTI, didnt you guys call them Rabbits over there?......whats the model with the supercharger and turbo?

I was able to squeak 27.3mpg city driving out of this tank, and that was with a little bit of fun involved in it as well. Really liking how this car is shaping up.

They are finally called the Rabbit now. Now it's just GTI.

I wouldn't worry about the reliability of the DSG as much as the reliability of a VW in general.

Yeah, the golf is now the rabbit. But the golf GTI is called simply the GTI. If you're comparing the model lineup to europe, we don't get the motor with both the supercharger and the turbo; Your choice is either a 2.5L 5-cyl. in the rabbit or the 2.0T in that's standard in the GTI.

A shame you dont have the superturbo model, its a cracker!!!, no lag and a huge boost from the turbo at high end.....though its only a 1.3 or something?
