I would like to know of anyone experience driving up Mt Washington in Hew Hampshire. How did the DSG transmission hold up with the very steep roads?
This is my first time with the DSG and wanted to know how she holds up.;)

Of course it can do it, and you'll probably have a great time doing it.
Having driven Pikes Peak and Mt. Washington within the past 2 years, my opinion is the wear and tear on ANY vehicle isn't worth the missed vistas (you're driving, remember?).
Take the funicular...

RIP 16 GSW... Just the LR diesel now
The car can do it no problem.

If the driver is worried, take the bus or the train.
