Jeezaloo!! im away for half a day and end up getting slagged off by every grandad with a DSG 
Im not hear to change anyone's mind as I said previously, I have already made the choice as have most of you. I just wanted to help a dude out with his decision. it wouldnt be right if 50 people came on hear and said DSG is the best thing ever and the he goes out and gets one... only to find like me that its not for him. 
Here is the conclusive evidence
1.DSG is faster 0-60 (but yet to see any proof of it being faster round a track) correct me if im wrong. Wishful thinking
2. You are not in full control of your gearing bollocks
3. 90% of dsg drivers will leave it in auto true
4. there are limits on the amount of power a DSG box can handle true
5. We dont know how long they last
true
6. Cant do donuts in a DSG.... very important!! doughnuts? if you mean wheel spin then its pretty easy with dsg
7. A little "jolty" at low speeds never noticed this so gonna have to say bollocks
8. Danger of getting a "lazy leg" 
pathetic reason
9. Cant change gear using paddles when going round corners bollocks
10. Cant (for whatever reason) be in gear and rev your engine in an aggressive manner neither can a manual, you have to putch the clutch in are then out of gear
These are just a few points.. no need for anyone to get all defensive either..

Bad points of manuals
Pain in the ass in traffic jams
cost of chaging a clutch
always a chance you could stall
always a chance you could over rev the engine and cause damage
missing a gear when accelerating and loosing speed
A driver may inadvertently shift into the wrong gear with a manual transmission, potentially causing damage to the engine or transmission
unable to have both hands on the steering wheel at all times, hence not as safe as an automatic
