Default Good Video. Must be very recent, up till now all the 6MT v DSG comparos where that Asian GTi Vid...

Good to see the exact same car, same driver run the cars back to back. The results are what I believe most expected.

At the end of the day .4 seconds doesnt mean a whole lot...its still up to the driver there...we arent talking about 4 seconds ya know...

Where STronic really shines is in the straight line 0-60, 0-100 1/4 mile arena as well.

Good post. Thx.<ul><li><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=gmMNRQ1GJ3o">Here is the 6MT vs DSG GTI battle.</a></li></ul>

Default Re: DSG vs Manual video

Looked like DSG car had 17s and the manual had 18s.

Default Too bad they cut out the part that says that she prefers the Manual over the DSG!

Even technically DSG beat the manual she likes more control of the Manual!

Yep... the DSG had more advantage... DSG would still beat the Manual though.

Default I have driven an S-Tronic or DSG quite a bit and I dont see it doing anything control wise that one

would not want over a 6MT.

It holds the gear perfectly fine in corners in entry and exit....will hold a gear a 6,000 RPM with no qualms.

One thing people forget is that there is a method and skill to driving the DSG gear box also, from smoother shifts, to holding gears...its not mash and go.

I'm not stating an opinion... just the fact of what she said.
