i've been driving my city vtec for 3 years already...
and i'm currently driving a GTI...
love the CVT smooth acceleration.. quick revs...

but problem is CVT really fragile.. and those lower end cars with CVT cannot mod at all... like what someone said cannot tahan the high hp/torque
i've never driven a more expensive car with CVT like A4 etc

but after driving my new 4 weeks old GTI
i would definetly go for DSG over CVT

i have only 1 problem with DSG...
if u are cruising on 6th gear... and u want power and u full throttle u will have some lag time... due to the gears need to downshift 2-3 gears.. hence will take some time for the DSG to downshift from 6 to 3-4



as for manual tranny all about user preference.. since TS only asked about CVT and DSG i would suggest stick to the topic smile.gif

for malaysia (KL) roads i would sure go for auto better... go where also jam >.<

6th gear at 60km/h eh?
i think it's because the gti's rpm is lower than 1700rpm at the time. which is in the turbo lag zone.
i always curse when the gti chose 6th gear at 60km/h.. can't pull away. downshift a bit then zooom  cool2.gif

and yes DSG gives not so pleasant experience during traffic jam, back and forth 1>2>1>2>1 the DSG confuse and jerks a lot

yea around that speed...
i havent had any problems with it jerking yet haha...
maybe next time jam just use manual mode and leave it on 1st tongue.gif
