I currently have a DSG GTD, and I've previously had a 7speed DSG b8 S4, and also a ZF 8 speed b9 S4. All of these gearboxes have been excellent at changing gear - but the 'decision' point at when to change gear seems ponderous. I think this is a fairly well accepted point that VAG's software is not as quick as that used by BMW. The b9 S4 has exactly the same ZF gearbox as found in many BMW's but its a common complaint that the integration of the gearbox hasn't been done as well.
Options are privacy glass, lumbar support, HK audio, icon lights, heated steering wheel and the digital dash.

Compared to the GTD the ride is definitely firmer - but cornering ability is also significantly better. I can't compare to a GTI as the last GTI I owned was the mk5. I presume the GTI is a bit firmer than a GTD but can't say for sure.
MPG - early days but I've seen 38 on a sensible 12 mile journey. I would expect that to get a bit better as it runs in but pleased so far.
Wind and road noise is very low, maybe a bit lower than the GTD. However nothing compares to the noise isolation of the b9 S4 I had. What I have noticed is that little stones that ping of the tyres make more of a noise than I've encountered on the golf.
