Alan BakerIt's most;y irrelevant how fast you are rowing through the gears outside the F1 domain. What is important with a stick that there is no override from the box, so that _you_ control exactly when the shifting is done while with DSG in VW I believe it can decide that you need to be in a different gear then the one you have selected. And avoiding unexpected shifts is pretty critical from safety standpoint in the mountains.

Problem with the Boxter is the mid-engine placement, which limits how far the seat can go back, and limits how far it can be reclined.
I somehow feel I would've been at home in its twin with a fixed roof. Sadly awd is not an option south of 911 and having kids I guess cayenne would've been a better option for me. But, alas, there is no manual, I think, only DSG or a slushbox.
And you can change gears faster than a DSG?
... and then here is an issue of cost. I have already brought that up.
Alan BakerIt shifts quicker. Does not mean it's miles ahead for _my_ purposes. I'm not willing to pay for DSG upfront _and_ in ongoing maintenance (2x clutches + electronics) nor do I need DSG.
That would depend.
If it's a 7 speed box and I'm changing from 7 to 6... ...no.
But if I'm slowing for a hairpin, and want to change from 7 to 2...Nashton
I'm so sick of "too bad this car doesn't have a manual gearbox" sh*t, because in high end vehicles such as the Cayenne, It's miles ahead of any manual gearbox.
I want my 3rd pedal on the left.
