I wonder if the owner of the car is a member of this forum....🤔...

This video is disturbing! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/motors/10387118/six-year-old-race/amp/

Harry Metcalfe posted the following stats on twitter which are very worrying for all us R owners: https://mobile.twitter.com/harrym_vids/status/1195088538959851524?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-29844395793530583371.ampproject.net%2F1911070201440%2Fframe.html

I prefer the look of 18 inch Cadiz wheels to 19 inch Prets in black or silver despite so many others preferring the Prets. Who cares what anyone thinks as long as you like them!

Looks great and a good price. Good luck!

Love the E46 as well Shakeel (just not with the SMG box at the time)! Let's enjoy these naturally aspirated large capacity engines before the whole world goes electric and hybrid☹

The E92 M3 is one of my favourite cars of all time. The sound of that V8 from 5000 revs......spine tingling!!!

Lol about the looks😁 I borrowed a friend's FK2 for 3 weeks and although it was tremendous fun to drive when you are in the mood for some fun, the rest of the time it got on my nerves. Especially the ride quality or lack of it. The R is a much more rounded car that ticks far more boxes for me.

Yes.

Happy for the point scoring to end. However I stand by my earlier point that you really need to drive both the manual and the DSG to from a vaild and balanced opinion and avoid the danger of any potential 'buyer regret' which Shakeel seemed to have to some degree initially.

If you can't even be bothered to answer the question then it's a no then....😁

Is that a yes or a no?

Really? Have you even driven a manual R? If you haven't how can you give a valid and balanced opinion? The same goes to anyone else who loves their DSG so much that they feel that there is no need to even drive the manual....

And Manual drivers have longer sticks and don't have their hands on flaps all the time...

I certainly have nothing to prove Dave. I really enjoyed driving a DSG for 18 months, it is a great car, however I missed a manual box! Of course drag times, lap times etc are all largely irrelevant to most of us (as long as the car is fast enough). Modern hot hatches are so capable and competent that most of us will get nowhere near their limits on a public road or even a track. Therefore the 'debate' is largely theoretical and of course a bit of banter as well. I have noticed that the DSG gearknob is slightly larger that that for the 6 speed manual. All you DSG drivers will have to factor in the extra 100 grams into your driving style😂😂
