Lol, good find, the shifter is VAG style to, + forward, - backwards, completly unatural.

if you are used to driving a stick than that layout is much more intuitive. I have used both, and much prefer the up=down set up. ive also used the side to side in chryslers, and that just sucks. compare that with my wife, who has driven a manual very little, she finds the up=down set up to be confusing. she has that in her car, but still screws it up when she tries using it.

I guess that's much more of a problem in Europe.

I always found myself doing it wrong whenever I tried it in the Audi.

which way is the audi? my mother in law has the DSG on her A3, and whenever i drive it i just use the paddles. and they are done properly, right=up, left=down.

It doesn't feel natural having the forward motion to go up a gear, i've allways prefered the much more natural, back=up a gear and front=down a gear, everytime i pick up an A4 from a friend with a DSG i try to keep it in Drive, or use the wheel padles, if i use the shifter i make a lot of wrong imputs and even start thinking if i should press forward or back during braking or accelerating.

It should allways be move forward=down a gear, move back=up a gear, in the wheel padles, right for up a gear and left for down a gear.

BMW uses this method and probably all sequential gearboxes to. Race cars alike.

I never understood why would VAG do it any other way, even Porsche with the PDK, how miserable can you get! A 'normal' motion sequential in the race GT3 but a wrong motion one in the 911.
