I'd go as far as to saw "astonishing", and in a good way :). Almost completely eliminated the transmission movement that turned up following the power/TCU upgrades, at least as far as every day driving is concerned.

As an ex-manual man, I'd say the DSG makes less mistakes than I did moving cogs by hand :). It is not fool proof, but nor was I. Half the trick is to know when to override with the paddles rather than staying lazy. When the DSG gets it right it is far better than I could be. It can be a little...
