Oh god, manual sucks balls. Ancient tech.

Actually the common RB R's seem to have more of it, based on the service managers info.

ok searched but can't find.

i optioned the 19" talledagas with my R and they come with little black plastic flares just under the wheel arches (very visible here)

my car is missing the front right one. told the dealer who has ordered one in.

thing is, what are they for? seems to me like they're just for compliance and they don't serve any functional purpose... i think the car would look better without them?

agree. also, LAUNCH CONTROL!!!

Launch control a in manual = 3,500 - 4,000rpm + clutch release. Not too hard.

VW Golf R - DSG versus manual by autocar.co.uk - YouTube

outright performance aside, i actually prefer driving manual, but need dsg for the wife. both are awesome.

Here we go.. just when I thought the Colour arguement was done.. the gearbox one comes into play..

How about the GTI

[Lucas_R]

Pot calling the kettle black? Hahaha. You are the colour stirrer of the century SilvrFoxX.....

I couldnt care less what colour or gearbox anyone else has. I chose manual and UG because i love it. Everyone else chose their colour and gearbox and other options because they love it.

Are you calling me a Pot.. cause thats OK as Pots are better than Kettle's because they are RB not Black
