Finally i bought my lovely car!

i have been in Dubai arround 2 years now! and since im working with HONDA Dubai, my first car was Honda Accord 2.4 Lit 2006 model....

But... i think its time to buy a nice, elegant, sporty, and fast car,
after searching, test driving cars, i bought the 2007 Golf GTI DSG.

i took the delivery today! and im very happy!

Im waiting for the week-end to make some pics, and post them in what do u drive or ride!

Great car, wrong gearbox.

It's just a way of paying to make your car less involving, I would rather do my own throtle blips thanks.

I understand that as a gearbox it is technically amazing but I would much rather have a manual.

The best application I have experienced so far was when fitted to a VW Touran taxi in Berlin, the upshifts were very comforatable an fast and it seemd perfectly suited to work as a full auto.

Jeez! For a second, I thought you bought the Gallardo and Murci (see your sig)

Then I read the text

Congrats on the GTi

Congrats for your new GTi (scale 1:1)

:good:

Great choice!

As you already know - you're gonna love the DSG. (It's not like you can't pick up a 5 speed beater down the road to have some fun with!)

Thanks Guys!!!

its really very fu to drive, the gearbox is so smooth!
and it shift is awsome and fast way

congrats on the car, i'd prefer the manual too though

DSG is surely fun for a while but i would feel less connected to the driving experience.

The manual is a six speed.

Congratulations on the new car! GTI's are really awesome cars, I had a good time test driving one w/ the DSG. Enjoy her in good health.

Agreed. DSG is an amazing box, but still not as good as a manual.

Still congratulations for buying a great car and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it, MUS911!

^ You're probably right, but because shifting and proper heel & toeing is such an important and fun aspect of driving pleasure to me, I would really miss that in a car with DSG box. I would gladly accept the traffic jam clutch work if I could keep my manual box...
