Has not missed a beat..no horror stories about DSG gearboxes, poor build quality, expensive services..a mate of mine has had nothing but trouble with his GTI
DSG gearboxes are unproven at this early stage in there development & most have a few problems.

Without trying to sound bias in any way in regard to the FD2 as they are a great car, I personally believe they are priced too closely to a base model Euro (Virtually the same going on 2010 Prices). The reality is you can't compare the 2 cars in any way as the Euro is in a totally different class in every area, yet there is very little difference in economy based on my 06 FD1 Auto VTI & now my base model 08 Euro.

I know Denot had an FD2 & traded it for a Euro Auto & hasn't looked back. But like everything in life we all have different tastes, likes & dislikes.
