Coming from the land of VW R32s... manual vs. DSG transmissions is a big topic. For those that have purchased... wondering if you would still have purchased had the 1M been made available with DCT only?

The 2004 R32 was manual only, and the 2008 was DSG only. The 2008s lack of popularity when compared to the 2004 is often largely blamed on the lack of manual option... so the 2012 Golf R is coming to the US in manual only.

So... for those that purchased a 1M, would you still have purchased if it was available in DCT only?
