I too learned how to drive a stick in a 240D. I guess it was ok for the most part, but there is this certain speed you can hit somewhere around 10-15 MPH in second gear where a clutch noob can get the car to buck like a wild horse.

What year TDI you looking at? The MkV Jetta is a pretty nice ride. I drove one for about a week while my Golf was in the shop. Yes I did walk right over to the VW preowned lot to see how much the MkV Jetta TDI was selling for, whooo boy they're pricey.

You've got to get a gasser if you want DSG.
