"is it worth getting over conventional manual?"

Now that's a sensitive question

basically everyone has their own view, especially manual owners   

let's not go there again

DSG is faster than manual.
I like manual because i like to be in control and its more fun

agree on the sound r32uk, but not much else has much more going for it, having tried both today.

I guess it boils down to personal taste. I tried the Gti and it was great... loved it!! Tried the R32 and just thought it was better..

definalty the R32,   the running costs arent as much as you would believe, and £300/400 a year on tax..  its only £8 a week!!..  you could do an extra 1 hour overtime to cover it!!
