jeta dsg or manual

[tricolourdog]

hi guy's
i have a bora se tdi manual on a 04 plate,am thinking of changing it to a jetta,though i can't make my mind up choosing the dsg or manual box.I prefere a manual, but as my missus can only drive an automatic, i thought we could share some of the driving on holidays as we go to scotland and the south coast a lot so i am leaning in favour of a dsg.therefore does anyone know of any problems, or cost's for parts for these box's,and do they require servicing.
One more question,would anyone know what sort of value i could expect for my bora--it's a se,tdi,115 bhp ,pd in excellent condition,with 27500 miles only,with a full sh.
thank you

have you test driven one yet? the dsg is very good?

vw do multi function steering wheel with the flappy paddles on it so that is as good as a manual minus the block shift - 2nd to 4th to 6th, 3rd to 5th etc.

also the centre stick can be used as tiptronic.

why not get a golf estate, the dog would fit then.

thanks for the reply have'nt test drove one yet,although a guy at work has one but he is off sick now indefinatley.was more interested really on cost to service or repair when out of warranty!!.
Dont fancy an estate really used to have one years back wern't overkeen then,and the dog will fit cos she's the driver.lol
