DSG is the auto transmission, right ??

If so, does it have any launch control features on it ?? Is your GTi AWD or FWD ??

Flyer can elaborate if his GTi has 4 Motion (AWD) but yes the DSG is the dual-clutch Direct Shift Gearbox. It is similar to the Porsche PDK but the PDK is Porsche designed, has wet clutches and is more stoutly built.
The DSG is dry and was designed by BorgWarner.
No launch mode although you can do software tweaks to the Haldex controller (transfer case) to make it shift harder and as a result shorten the life expectancy of the Haldex.

things already done by day 2 of ownership - front plate delete, shaved chrome lettering from the doors, installed gloss black rams head on the grill, and window tints. i have a gloss black tailgate emblem here too, but i am waiting for a can of factory Blue Streak Pearl paint to come in so i can paint it to match. i want the big ram head on the tailgate to look like it is stamped in to the tailgate and blend in instead of a different color from the tailgate. i didn't paint the front ram head because i think the black matches the grill well.

I'm telling you - most comfortable, roomy and better accelerating cars you'll drive, as compared to its competitors...

Even the V6 300C and Charger with the 8-speed transmission is super impressive...

I tried the 9speed 3.2 Cherokee...

Quite nimble for its small size
