dude go ahead and buy a LAURA manual with UR eyes closed.Get a Petes box and U R having a best with 130ps and 300nm of BULLYING power....the automatic is rumoured to be a bit problematic at times.NOTE:no offence meant to current owners.

hey jeetu, find out from the dealer regarding firm delivery period. In delhi the dealers are not willing to commit delivery of the dsg even for the next 3 months. I am going for the manual because of this. Manual delivery is confirmed within 10 days. let me know if things are different at your end.

Now make up your mind and buy a manual , auto or neither !!!!!
