Message	I've had my MK V 2006 GTI with DSG for 4 months and the interior and the car overall is a blast to drive bone stock! The chassis is superb and the aftermarket for this car/engine is jam packed with go-faster parts. This is my 4th GTi and it definitely brings back the spirit of the original hot hatch. The DSG is THE FUTURE of automatic transmissions....torque converter's days are numbered. To top it all off, It runs on regular OR premium without too much of a penalty in performance or mileage. Speaking of mileage, I get ~25 with a very heavy foot. Totally pleased with this version and with the quality so far. Plus the hatch is huge and very useful...I can't say enough about this car...It's actually taken driving time away from the Z! Rob D.
