Looking for another Mk7 to daily. I love my 3.2 Eos, but I don't like the DSG in everyday driving. I'd like to go back to daily driving a manual, but I'm indifferent. Found a few good deals on autos so I figured I'd ask for opinions on them. I'm curious how the autos have held up, and how they feel.
What year? - 2015 1.8T TSI SEL
How many miles? - Bought in July 2017 with 30k, now about 38k
Any issues? - Nope. Love the paddles and manual mode shifter, especially in winter driving.
Do you regret going auto over manual? - Nope, I needed an auto for slow-crawl traffic jams. I have a manual Miata for evening & weekend fun.
How responsive is the trans to tiptronic shifts? - Ehh...it's OK. It's probably no equal to the DSG, but it works.
Any torque converter lag off the line? - In regular "D" mode, yes. in "S" mode, I find much much less. I occasionally use "S" if I need to make a left turn across traffic lanes.
Any updates on a TCU tune? - Nope, didn't know that was a thing. Only just now starting to peruse this sub-forum.
