I just got back from driving at GTI with the DSG tranny......WOW. Instant shifts up and down, matches the revs perfectly.

Whats really cool is how easy it is to switch from full auto to semi auto. You just get in and drive, but if you get the urge and tap one of the paddles, it kicks it ito manual mode. If you want to go full manual, you just push the trans stick to the right, then you can use the paddles or the auto stick. It will let you run to 100 rpm over red line before it forces a shift.

Just awesome. Within 2 minutes, your not even thinking about the trans. You can just lazily go back and forth between manual mode and full auto, and the car has your back.
