Default gear ratios 2.0 diesel manual vs DSG

Hi

I have owned a 2.0 litre DSG Hatch for about 1 year and am generally very happy with the car.

A observation though, the gearing seems quite low in the lower gears especially. I wonder if those of you with the same engine but manual could comment on their observed speeds through the gears.

Mine would show on the speedo, revs on the red line 4,500 rpm:

25mph 1st
42 mph 2nd
65 mph 3rd
90 mph 4th *
120 mph 5th * * estimate
150mph 6th ** ** if rocket attached !!

They seem about right. I used to short shift from 1st into 2nd and use the torque.
oh, welcome to Briskoda.
