In the light of these threads :

Which is better?

FWD with Manual Gear Box?
or
4Motion with DSG?

Or should it be the Reverse?

Or should you just get what you want and use it as you want?

No. Not until ALL the bugs have been sorted out and the Options list dwindled significantly - so last year of production unless of course the T7 is a hybrid.
Not a fan of " New Vehicles " prefer someone else to road test them fully first and then step in when its all sorted.

This...most definitely.
Just so long as you know what you want and why you want it.

I started the DSG or Manual thread because I wanted some help to understand any advantages and disadvantages beyond the marketed reason. The thing is it is quite easy to have expectations of a feature to do exactly what it says on the tin. But dig deeper and ask advice and you sometimes get a different perspective from the experienced owners.
So having no experience of either I'll be watching this thread closely

My thoughts - drive both for at least half a day and decide which YOU prefer. You will then be able to choose one you will have to live with.
As long as you have a California you will not go wrong. We have 2 T6's one an Ocean one a Kombi and (touch wood) both performing brilliantly (both manual but that is our choice)
