Funny thing is that is was the DSG gearbox that got me looking at the Skoda in the first place!
My brother-in-law has a R32 in Switzerland which I've driven a lot. I just loved the gearbox and started looking at VWs and then 'found' the Skoda - and got a better deal.
I admit that the DSG can be a bit weird sometimes eg. even in manual mode it automatically downchanges as you come to a stop which can be a bit disconcerting if you try to downchange manually.
I drive it in manual about 80% of the time, but I like the flexibility to be able to choose. And I find in manual mode it drives more like a 'true' manual than a normal auto.
Plus, the multi-function steering wheel is a bonus.
Horses for courses in the end I guess!
