Morning, all. ******* trains.
cats or lambdas
Thanks Andy...We has 2 VRS Octavia's many years ago and they never missed a beat and my father has just bought a 2009 Fabia which is a lovely little car for him.
Yes agree that DSG is a brilliant gear box for the daily drive. Agree will not set the pulse racing but it's very complete. I really like the latest VRS estate...it's a good looking car.
Have to disagree I'm afraid, have a Passat with DSG as general hack, and I hate it, but then I have always been a manual man (Maser aside) as I like to be in total control.
Going all weak at the knees thinking about it Adam.....
I like manual as well Iain which is why I like the idea of a Vantage as a toy but as a car to use everyday for the commute the DSG is a happy bed fellow .....

I'm going weak at the wallet.
The manual Vantage makes less sense to me just because it revs up so fast and rattles through its seven gears so quickly that an automated manual, which lets you do that all-important 'hanging on to the steering wheel' thing, makes more sense. Not only that, it's still quicker than a manual. Still, I get the bit about driver engagement, but not every drive needs to be heroic.
