Too bad VW mechatronics doesn't read the throttle position for a clue here. It all just seems so obvious.
The design of the VW Golf Mark VII was absolutely brilliant. The EU model got a few why-didn’t-I-think-of-that extras that the NA market didn’t get, particularly around towing. There was a hidden tow hitch that popped out when a button on in the trunk was pressed, as well as reversing assist that used the electric mirror control knob (!) as steering control.
I talked to a mkVII GTI owner today at work, I asked him about his DSG. He said he liked it a lot, but mentioned that he found the shifting too fast and got a DSG tune and either paid or on his own was able to modify the shifting, but I didn't have time to ask him what he meant or for more details about the tune.
He's a chemistry PhD, and is into German stuff. Hes also got a w124 e320 that he's un-rusting (!) so I'd say he has pretty good taste.
DSG tunes are also a thing but then it becomes a rabbit hole and a money pit…
