different strokes, for different folks.

slightly quicker, slightly faster, not an improvement in handling, 10k more, 6 mpg less.
Team Owner
all your doing is pushing YOUR opinion on me and saying MY opinion is dumb and I'm dense. wtf. Other VW owners with the 6MT must also be wrong

and the DSG does 0-60 in 4.5s
That's a huge fucking margin.

faster is of no importance, as anything over 50km/h nets you a vehicle seizure and license suspension, here.
quicker is nice, but the car loses it's heart and soul and becomes boring to drive to me. *I* don't like DCTs. I know they're fast and wonderful. *I* don't like them. They are built to be efficient, not engaging.

FFS Taco.. I don't call you Adumb very often...
I'm not pushing anything than the fact that the Golf R in manual form is just dumb.
Maybe that's what makes it a perfect car for you.
You just said speed is of no interest to you.. yet you follow that up with, you do all your driving on the highway.
You also said the mpg gap is highway.. which you followed up with... you do all your driving on the highway.
The 6 mpg difference is what C&D actually recorded, not bullshit EPA numbers.
I'm not saying get a DSG, I'm saying save some money and get a GTI.
You say... oh but the manual in the corners and braking is just the same as the DSG.
Welll the manual GTI is also the fucking same... except the GTI brakes are better... so it doesn't do it better than the GTI
And then you said... speed and quickness doesn't mean shit to you... (say along kids) SO GET THE FUCKING GTI
If you want to be a little quicker, a little faster, burn more gas doing so.. get the Golf R manny.
I don't care, I'm just trying to educate a box of crayons.

speed, as in up to 160km/h? ok. I'm sure the 6MT pulls just fine. I don't give a squirt about being half a second faster to end up owning a car I hate driving. There's a reason I don't want an R35 either. I hate the transmission. Yes, I've driven it. It's fun for 6 minutes. And then it gets boring.
when you say faster, you mean all out speed. I will never see all out speed with that car. nothing beyond 160km/h. that's 100mph. I don't care how much faster it is beyond that.
when you say quicker, you mean it accelerates faster. I agree, yes, the DSG wins on this, hands down. But it's not everything for me.
the manual R has better fuel economy on the highway than the DSG. I was at the dealership yesterday, looking at the stats. I commute mostly highway, day in, day out, where the speed limit is 100km/h and there is regular enforcement. I don't need to be fast. My 250hp and 240torque TL is plenty fast enough. The 6MT R would be quicker and faster than it, in all regards.
The GTI compromises on a lot of stuff when compared to the R. Stuff you may not see value in, but I do. I like the exhaust pipes, the wheels, the brake calipers, the headlights, etc. of the R. The GTI looks Spartan in comparison. I like the interior better. The seats are nicer. The gauges are better. I don't want a "base" car (I know the GTI isn't base) and chip it to make it as quick as the higher trim car. I've always only owned the top trim of any car, for it's given model year. This is no different. I want my options. Each and everyone of them.
The only improvement I see with the DSG is quicker acceleration, at the cost of driving fun. I grew up driving 127hp Honda civics. I'll take driving fun over acceleration any day of the week.
You just need to accept that what's important to you, isn't important to everyone else. It's ok. I still love you. I swear!

Not one post did I say get the DSG.
Oh you want to pay 10k for bullshit, why didn't you just say that.
I should have known.. the jizzmo.

Adam went 6MT R to 6MT Focus ST to DSG Golf and seems to not be regretting it one bit.
That GTI in manual would be a hoot and if you don't "need' the awd...I'd save the 10K for something else too.

while by no means necessary, living in this climate, AWD is a nice feature to have too, and I'm willing to pay for it. Living in texas, you wouldn't understand
