Got into a tussle between two pretty quick,and safe,guys over a country road at the weekend.
One in a newish MR2 and one in a sporty looking Fiesta.
I managed to dispose of them both pretty quickly,but not as quickly as I would have in a manual.
I'm willing to concede I need more time to get used to the DSG but,
in particular,I find the fact that (even in 'manual' mode) the box will change up for you as you approach the red line quite infuriating.
It's a road I've been over a million times and there are several occasions where it's better,and quicker,to hold onto the gear you're in between corners.
The DSG was changing up when I didn't really want,or ask,to.
I'll have to rethink my 'trash-plan' over that road.
Unless anyone knows how to get a wee bit more 'over-rev' without it changing up for you ???? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
