To me DSG looks like a bodge

They are tiresome things to drive as well, IMHO, and then there's the (un)reliability...

Her company Golf was quite punchy through the gears. I enjoyed driving it, but no way would we want own one, just in case.

Totally different things, though - one is a proper gearbox and the other a slushbox ;)

A swift change is all well and good when playing, but there are times when even you or I just want a smooth, sedate drive...

Nail on the head.  :y

A DSG box can't make a smooth change. Move gently away from the lights and it crashes through the first 3 gears before you've even got to the other side of the junction.

You might as well wring its' neck everywhere, because it only makes aggressive shifts. ;D

Actually, it was a hire car, so not sure why I didn't think of that.  ::)

Never a problem, :-?  even as a passenger.  ;).  In fact we had some pterol head passengers in the back that where suitably impressed at all "levels" of driving. No problems here ime. Even on the down changes, before DTM pipes up.

Only issue we had on that car was the fekin useless poxy climate control and the dealers trying (not) to sort it. >:(
