You know,this isn't going to go down well with the real DSG fans but...

for anything above 7/10's driving,I find the DSG a huge disappointment.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Up to 7/10's it's fine and dandy.
Over that,it doesn't come close to a manual.
Sorry,but that's what I've found to be the case and I've actually had to slow my driving down over country roads to cater for the DSG,especially on downchanges which are nothing like as smooth and controllable as a manual.
If you're used to changing down and immediately dumping the clutch,then the DSG is fine,but if you're used to changing down and 'feathering' the clutch to make things nice and smooth then you'll find the DSG quite annoying.
Combined with the intensely annoying trait of changing up for you when you don't want it to,I find myself getting so frustrated I just give up and slow down.
I'd urge anyone thinking about DSG to take a LONG test drive and think about it longer than I did.
I think I was a bit naive and swallowed the 'hype' a bit too readily.
Sorry gents,but each to their own.
