which make the decision for the DCT a no brainer... yes, it's a very expensive option here, like 8% of the total cost of the car, but the plus side is that taxes will be much less as the CO2 goes down from 199 to 185, which compensates for a bit...I was just hoping that the manual would be a bit like the one in our GTI, short throws, very mechanical with a firm clunk, a joy to use, which it apparently is not... Thanks for the replies  |
the throw isn't overly long, but compared to the GT4 it feels long. i honestly think the GT4 has the best manual transmission i've ever used, so it's a tough act to follow. the m2 manual isn't bad at all
