me neither - I love DSG and perfect in London. D for boring traffic or just calm driving, S for booting it with ease and paddles for country lane thrashing! No way I would go back to a manual unless there was no semi available.

Try an advanced driving course - don't ever change in mid-corner, you will unbalance the car.

I've attended the carlimits.com driver training course a couple of times and one of the things that Andy the instructor demonstrates is how a car is unbalanced if you change mid-corner. However the DSG gearchange was so slick he was unable to effectively demonstrate any unbalancing effect. That said, the principal remains and I'm not condoning changing gear mid-corner... :smiley:
