There seem to be some variations in the VW DSG transmission cars I have driven.
One, in a 2006 TDi Jetta the garage loaned me was an amazing piece of gear. It had been "rode hard and put away wet" for 6 years and had about 250K km (~150K miles) and it was smooth and responsive. I would have swapped it for my 5 speed it need be.
Another DSG was in a 2012 Passat TDi and I couldn't believe how ill-mannered it was at parking lot speeds.
Maybe it needed a good thrashing.
