I'm on my third VAG car with DSG, previously owned an A3 S-line, Mk V R32 and now the Ed 30.
Most of what can be said about the DSG has been covered in the earlier comments.
I've also got a new E92 3 Series Coupe 330 Auto. The DSG box is far superior. It is a fantastically quick and smooth shifter. My son has a manual MK IV R32 and when he floors it, which he does regularly, if you are a passenger, you need your neck braced as you do the impression of a nodding dog on acid. Floor the DSG in sport and it's just a seamless surge of power until you reach the national speed limit very very quickly, and you can keep both hands on the wheel. My lad wouldn't contemplate a race with me as he knows he'd be left behind and his pride wouldn't allow it.
I'm just loving the DSG, it is a fantastic piece of technology, I understand Mitsubishi are now using this in their Lancers and BMW are bringing out a dual clutch auto.
Go for it.
