thanks... thats not the sort of stuff that bothers me. I'm not the type to go to the dealer when the glovebox rattles a bit.

that 2.0 is in a ton of other cars and seems to hold up well.

I was impressed in how nice the dsg is. My understanding is the dsg is generally reliable, but when things go bad its $$$.

I wouldn't mind a manual, but I have seen very few available...
