Why the hell is my car so slow

[Superfreak]

Which is why us MT drivers that race are more skilled drivers than the DSG folks. Just don't tell them that because they'll get their panties all bunched up if you do.

But it's true.

So what's the difference then between using flappy paddles to shift when you want and pressing in a clutch pedal and touching a phallic thing?

Nailed it.

I love to row the gears on some cars, but happy that I chose the DSG for the golf. I’m sure the manual is awesome also, just slower and not worth that particular cost to me. To each his/ her own, of course.

Skill?

Maybe it slow cause its just a GTI.

Skill?

Actually, flappy paddles (DSG) and phallic thingy referenced above are connected to different tranny's that have different gears. Different gears means your optimal shift points are different.

so now that I own a DSG car and have drove it hard for the last 2 days...

you dsg guys are full of shit (also spelled as justification) .... this thing is just like driving a regular auto that just shifts quicker and you feel it down shift. not life changing or anything more than just driving an auto car, not anything alarmingly faster than a good manual shift from the driver seat either,

"oh its cause it needs and DSG tune" lol


on a second note... love how smooth and quite this passat GT is on the road, even if the stance sucks, it’s gonna be hard to not just deal with its looks for the comfort

@El_bigote_AJ for president!

Hilariously worded but I agree. 95%+ of the population don't know how to drive manual trans cars let alone drive them fast, so there's an assumption that they're so much slower.

Lol, good to know! Congrats on the new ride. I know that for me, I really enjoy tight mountain roads and the (1) manual golf that I’ve driven with that does have more power, couldn’t keep up in tight turns. Honestly doesn’t matter to me what other people drive, but I don’t think that my 25+ years of manual cars doesn’t make me a better driver, necessarily. It’s a stupid premise, imo. Or maybe I’m just full of shit? There’s always a faster, better driver than me and it’s probably the same for most all of us.
