Hello, me again.
Before you tell me that this has been asked before, I know it has. I've read everything about the advantages and disadvantages of both. However, I'm in a bit of a unique situation and I need your help.
I am looking at some of the Pre Owned 2018 Rs in my area, but the thing is, almost all of them are manuals. there are literally two DSGs that show up on Carfax within my area, and that's also going back to the 2016 model year.
So, I really like the white on the 2018 Rs, especially with the black accents, but all of the white ones are manual. The one DSG is down in the city, I think, only it's black (but TBH it looks pretty evil with a splitter in the front from prev. owner).
I wouldn't mind a manual, just because It would probably be more fun and (obviously) direct vs. the DSG. I actually wish I had gone standard on my previous GTI.
I'm in southern Westchester county, so we do have a fair amount of hills in the area, and traffic isn't hard to come by. But, I know that the clutches in the 7s weren't the greatest, so I assume that the ones in the 7.5 are no different. Also, which ones would technically hold greater value in the future? I do plan on holding onto the car for some time.
Apologies for the wordy post, but I'm in a weird situation and I need to decide soon, as at the moment I'm sans-car .
Am I going to regret going with the DSG, or is manual not a better option?
