hi there i test drove a dsg before i bought mine about 14 months ago,i thought the dsg was fantastic smooth and very responsive in changing gears ,but i coundnt hang around for the colour i wanted a manual candy white 5 door and it was local,an audi dealership nearby,manual is still fine tho ,but you have to way it up ,if you drive in traffic a lot definatly go for the dsg i would without a dout ..still its the best car on the road by far
