From what I have seen the Mk7 was about 50:50 manual/DSG.

GTI sales taaaaanked when the Mk8 launched due to production issues as well as its universally criticized interior. I'd be surprised if the manual/DSG ratio has changed substantially, but with far fewer units sold in total it is more difficult to justify building a transmission for a handful of low volume models since the GLI isn't flying off dealer lots either.
