Fr Tfsi Dsg

[Rokerlad]

Thinking of chopping my LCR in for a DSG car as I'm stuck in traffic jams on my dailly commute and have always fancied an auto box. Anyone on here got one? Does the FR come with the steering wheel paddle shifters like the Golf?

No paddles ... only a gear leaver.

That's a shame, but changing gear by flicking a gear lever up and down still sounds like fun for a lazy *$&%$£ like me

Hrrmmm .....

I tried a PD140 with the DSG and that had no paddles, salesman said none of the Leons have paddles..

They deffo have paddles there was a demo parked next to mine in the showroom when I picked it up. I sat in it and there were some flappy things I was playing with

And you believe what a car salesman tells you?

 

[TllEWL]

It'll be like cruise control ...


you probably just need to swap the wheel and enable the paddles in VagCom




That's what I'm counting on anyway, cos I have paddles fitted now but the Audi donor didn't have

The demo FR petrol at Droitwich has paddles. I tried a A3 Sportback 170bhp S-Tronic diesel with paddles prior to my FR and was impressed with the gear change, although its not quite F1 as there is still a slight delay and occasional gear choice issues with the ecu...either way it meant i could scratch my balls whilst changing into 4th, which has its benefits.

Great - Seems i was wrong ...

Indeed, seems I forgot rule 1 of the rulebook!

I would vouch 99% of the folk on SEAT Cupra net know more than SEAT car salesmen. In fact...make that 100%

why did we need to know about that

I have just sold my golf with dsg, i can honestly say its the best drive i have had, effortless is a understatement the gearchange is so smooth for a auto and its quick off the mark in sports mode, in traffic is where it comes into its own, i can honestly say no downsides at all. Why you ask have i ordered a manual fr ? because the wife wouldent drive a auto
