2 door Golf is lighter, so the blue one should anyways win.

Daily driver/city liver = DSG

Living in a rural area = Manual

i think whats more amazing is not so much of which is faster or better, but the fact that the DSG maintains the same time for all 3 runs.

on a personal note.. i definitely prefer a conventional manual still.

Doesn't matter if the DSG is faster. Been driving manual for only 4 years, and that DSG crap just takes the fun out of driving a true manual gearbox. The day manual is no longer available in any automobile is the day driving will become boring in my opinion.
