Right I've been offered a mk5 golf Gti with the dsg gearbox. Remapped to 291bhp.On a 55 plate. Anyone ever had one of these? Do you guys think it's a good deal for my sc'd 306? ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

Yeah, don't forget the Golf weighs 2 tonnes and even with 291hp it will feel slow...  ________________________________________ Rich |

However: midlife wrote: But coz its such a heavy bus it will never be as quick as a 6 on the twisties Wayne's comments are also very valid, it won't be as quick though twisty sections and will feel cumbersome and heavy. It really depends on whether you want to make more money come resale time, or have a better/lighter/quicker car in the short-term. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Also it will be nice to have a nice comfy car to drive again, without having to climb over the cage to get out of the car. I think the golf will be easier to sell for what it's worth, as most people won't know what the pug is worth, they may just think it's an old Peugeot at the end of the day.Anyone had any experience with the dsg flappy paddle gearboxes? ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

Personally, I HATE the DSG boxes. So, you're supposed to be able to have an option of 'auto' gearbox or 'manual' (using the paddles) right? Wrong... You can have 'auto' and this works fine as an automatic gearbox. You can have 'manual' and this also works fine *on the up-shift*. You can of course, manually downshift too. However, if you're braking (say for a roundabout) and the gearbox is set to 'manual' the thing starts down-shifting for you as if you're in auto mode. This I absolutely hate. If I'm in 6th in manual mode, heading down a dual-carriageway approaching a roundabout and I decide I want to slow down, come to a halt in whatever gear I like, and *then* change down to 1st ready to go, I should be able to. With the DSG, this is impossible. So basically, in summary, it's an automatic gearbox which allows you to manually up-shift as a treat if you select it. My missus has had a few of them now, but I would never buy one due to this.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I really like my DSG box; my only complaint is that i would like a slightly quicker shift. |

This. at stan wanting to stop in 6th gear!!!What would happen if the dsg did not drop down the gears and your average driver arrives at a roundabout still in 6th gear  and then goes to accelarate away? ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

The mk5 chassis isn't all the bad in all honesty. Currently driving a mk2 Leon and it handles rather well.As for the auto shifting in manual mode revo do a remap service that stops it doing it and also tweaks a few other settings. |

Interesting about a remap stopping it happening. @ some of the comments in this thread, it's not a case of me *wanting* to come to a complete stop in 6th gear, it's more the point of I should be able to if I choose. I may want to approach in 2nd or 3rd, but if my speed is lower than a certain parameter then I can't which isn't appropriate in my opinion.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
