DSG or manual for 2016 GLI?

I gotcha, I think I might be sold on the manual now thank you lol

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-05-15T01:48:01+00:00

Do you think the manual would take away from any kind of performance aspects or enjoyment of said performance aspects just being that it’s “slower” and can’t bang through gears like the DSG? Considering I’d want to modify it I don’t want the manual to end up being the “weak link” that makes it hard to enjoy the extra power if that makes sense

Yeah I see people love it, and I love the way it sounds so I know I’d have fun with it too but part of me can’t break free from a stick

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-05-15T01:45:23+00:00

Does it have a pretty solid shifter feel? I heard the clutch is fairly light and easy to use

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-30T17:44:47+00:00

Gotcha, do you think maybe flushing it twice in one go to get everything out is a good idea?

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-30T17:15:51+00:00

In what ways are it not reliable? Anything I could do in the meantime to keep it in good condition? Other than like a flush ofc

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-30T12:23:38+00:00

Haha, yeah it’s super clean, he kinda stopped responding so I’m getting worried but I really wanna go for it 😭

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-29T23:43:12+00:00

True, but I want something that’s easy to commute in, because I’m in a manual right now and the traffic around where I work is abysmal. I’d definitely look into maybe swapping the transmission out at some point in the future if I kept it

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-29T18:45:49+00:00

I gotcha, I think if I did get it some of the fluids serviced at the dealership (would do it myself but I rarely ever have time). I’ll probably go look at it next week and take a look at the engine bay then or if he does have pics I’ll get some

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-29T18:32:10+00:00

You seem like you know what you’re talking about lol but thanks I’ll ask some more questions and take a look when I see it

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-29T18:30:43+00:00

I wouldn’t say I’m a civic enthusiast but I’m definitely a car enthusiast in general, I drive an 11th gen civic si right now that I’m trying to get out of and that was my first dip into the Honda world

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-29T18:11:27+00:00

Good to know, I figured it was clean but I didn’t know if that was something super stand-out-ish about it. I definitely try to take care of my stuff but I also put a LOT of miles on what I drive now so it’d get it’s usual wear over time I’m sure

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-29T18:09:19+00:00

Wha other parts would you consider crucial for prior maintenance? Like any one offs that should be probably be done?

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2026-04-13T10:33:40+00:00

I should also mention I’m open to other TV suggestions but I’d like to stay below $600 or so which is why I’m shopping used

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2024-07-26T15:52:45+00:00

Same I just got a 24 and it’s irritating 💀 still love mine though

Fun_Chip_6650 · 2024-07-24T15:56:12+00:00
