With the multitronic you enjoy the constant fluency of speed. You are neither significantly slower nor uneconomical on the way.
The manual gearbox has no advantages for the driving performance or the consumption - but it is 2150 € cheaper.

Extremely sporty drivers should choose the 6 speed manual! Everybody else will attain happiness with the automatic. The automatic changes gears fast, comfortable and inconspicuous. In addition to that, the driver could change gear with the shift paddle!

You don't have to accept the classic disadvantage: The Automatic need a bit more fuel and you don't loose driving dynamics.
Nevertheless the manual gearbox is great fun and appreciably cheaper!

People, who want to have the sporty driving dynamics of a 911 will have no fun with the current 5 speed automatic! It could be a compromise for everyone who prefer a leisure driving style.

The DSG is a equal alternative to the conventional Automatic, especially in terms of Comfort. But the consumption, the driving dynamics and the cost price speak for the 6 speed manual!
 
Thanks ree,

it's interesting to see the differences, but as Just_me said i can't see the SLK scan either, do you have it bigger?
