It's coming up to a year with my 2016 1.4 GT TSI ACT and it's pretty much perfect for my needs as a commuting hack. DSG and ACC are great, still have 2 years' warranty left.
However, it doesn't exactly set my hair on fire and I'm looking at Rs (~5k to change to a '15).
Is buying a DSG R out of warranty a stupid thing to do? The DSG box is clumsy and stupidly jerky and low speeds/gears anyway, but not sure I really want a manual for my stop/start commute.
It also goes against the whole point of having a sensible commuter tool that costs buttons to run.
