Petrol economy seems to be getting very good - in the EU test. My less than scientific testing (same route, driving in eco mode and going for may econ) So far my best is 54.9 on the BGT and I managed 65 in a 2.0 GT Derv golf. So I'd say the oil burner still wins there

Boot it in the BGT on the other commute route and its 34

Oh it is good. Much better than the previous cars 28. It strikes a good balance between performance and economy and overall I do like the DSG - it just works 99% of the time, and the odd time it does something frustrating can be forgiven for all the easy, swift progress it allows.

@tomtoon2015 dont get me wrong, the DSG works very well the vast majority of the time. Sure you will love your new car when you get it.
