I had a passat cc diesel dsg (ok I know, different engine) but I didn't really like it.
Dont get get me wrong, dsg transmission is a thing of beauty, and flies through gears but when I wasn't on the power, setting off was jerky at times, town driving was annoying because in auto it was indecisive and slow to respond. And unless you were in manual or sport it was always in the wrong gear at the wrong time.
The good thing though is they are supposed to be better on fuel, and in the case of the passat I think they were cheaper to tax but quicker than the manual version. However, I've gone back to manual with my second car. My main work car is a proper torque converter slush box and is much smoother in most situations. I can't say I didn't enjoy the dsg though. When you wanted to drive it hard, it's like no other transmission. None of this clutch business. Just gets up and goes.
On another note, aren't dsg boxes 4 grand a pop? I didn't want to risk it with it being out of warranty...
as above, try one first
