My previous car (Golf V Gti) had DSG and it sucked.

Interesting - I noticed that when I sat in the 125i at the dealer. It seems to have more lateral leg room than the Golf and generally feels roomier width wise. This surprised me as the centre console looks almost as wide if not wider than the Golf. The F20 is a wider car though.

My father's lexus has a huge centre console not just in width but also in height. Toyota seems to love these but I can't stand it - makes me feel boxed in.
