It was on my short list, but the colour choices weren't enough for me.
Quick basic question(s) to anyone who knows the way the DSG paddle shifters work (as in my 2006 Jetta there aren't any and the manual shift option involves the floor shifter gate being moved over). The answers might be helpful to others who haven't driven it and are died in the wool manual tranny drivers. The Jetta DSG doesn't impress me but maybe its better now, and also with the paddles.
OK, so the article says hitting a paddle shifter puts it into manual mode, does it also shift the gear requested at the very same time, or does the paddle have to be hit a second time to actually make the first downshift? And, having now downshifted going into a corner and ending up in manual mode by doing so, how does it get back to auto shifting mode? In other words, having used the paddle to find the right gear, I would think most of the time on the street you want it back into auto shifting mode when exiting the corner and not be a 'slave' to making each upshift. Does it "go there" automatically, or if not, how do you get back into auto shifting mode?
