DSG vs 6-speed weight ?
How much heavier is a MK5 GTi with DSG than a traditional 6-speed GTi?

I would imagine the weight would be negligable. Is this the only thing causing you to choose? Manual ftw every time.

for fun, I agree with you, however for a daily driver, the dual clutch trannys are a pretty good compromise...definitely a step up from single clutch auto trannys.....
