My son is learning in our recently acquired 1.6FSI 04 plate.
I have noticed that particularly on down gear changes that you have to be very careful releasing the clutch to ensure smooth gear change otherwise you get a bit of a shudder sensation. Even as an experienced driver, I have to be more careful when changing down (compared to my Toyota Auris) to avoid this. However, I test drove a few golfs before buying mine and from memory I seem to remember this seems to be symptomatic of the clutch/engine?
Any thoughts
