Had a go in a another DSG car today, and having read the tips from the guys who own a DSG already I got on with the box a lot better. It was quicker to shift down and held gears longer in sport mode. Which was nice for fast long corners, holding the revs rather than changing up. In proper manual mode ( stick knocked to left ) it held gear until you redlined, which was good.

In auto mode the tip of clicking down before putting your foot down worked well.

Really got the hammer down from a standing start at one point and was over a ton in 3 rd before I new it.

Must say I was impressed with the box. You definitely need to learn to use it properly. I would say if you are umming and Arring, get it you will not be dissapointed.

Still a manual for me though!
