Why do people dislike the DSG box, I have driven VW's with it and loved it sooooooo much. This comes from a person who hates normal auto's

Methinks some of the people who say they dislike it have not had a go with one :shrug:

Dislike it personally purely on the fact that if you decide to tune your engine you are limited by the DSG gearbox. And that limit isnt very high at all.

Finally found a picture that starts to do the car justice

I think the new Cupra, as with most new cars these days, will look so much better in the metal rather than in pictures, here's hoping anyway!

dsg means launch control :D:D:D

why are you limited by dsg? i know of dsg boxes running over 400bhp

Id like to see that one. Any sources? Audi themselves have only just made a DSG gearbox themselves capable of handling more torque.

Can agree with this. Personally wouldn't want anyone/anything doing my shifting for me!:ban: The tunning issue seems to be on the most popular DSG units by BorgWarner...:shrug: There are units like the PDK in the Porsché 911(997) & the Ricardo sourced unit in the Bugatti Veyron, that can handle a whole lot more!!!:whistle: Yet putting that all aside DSG is really a nice little feat of engineering!:funk:

Wheels are larger on the orange one and fill the rear arches better. IMHO, the arches themselves are identical but they've been highlighted differently on the orange one to make them look wider. Other than that, you can drop them over the top of each other in Photoshop and not notice the difference.

Ref. DSG, have a look at BenCTR's graph from the last SCN/Awesome GTI RR day - 320bhp/360lbft through his DSG box.

right found out myself now and there are kits available for the 3.2 VR6 engine. Its really really expensive though, and obviously it would be a while before upgraded clutches were offered for the 1.4 TSI. So will still stick to the manual box imo.
