To be honest I couldn't be happier with my GT Sport TDI with DSG, after driving from Syd to Brisbane then back down thru northern NSW for me it has perfomed flawlessly. Yes 'S' mode lifts the revs up but that's what "SPORT" mode if for!!!! Driving from Murwillumbah to Lismore on some very challenging roads (and not at break neck speeds) the DSG was always in the correct gear and to me, never revved too high. It was perfect when coming up to corners just lift your foot off the accelerator and the car pulled up nicely without having to use the brakes, then ease on the throttle mid corner and it drove smoothly out of the corner. I also use the paddles on occasion when driving around in 'D' as it helps to suit whatever driving conditions are present ie: traffic, road conditions etc.. I treat the DSG as if it was a manual and am selecting gears or changing into 'S' mode when and if needed, having said that driving around Sydney I normally just leave it in 'D'.

All in all I really can't fault it and think it's the best gearbox available today and performs exactly the way it was designed.

Well that's my 2 cents and 5 bucks worth!!!

Also have approx 8,500km on my GT Sport TDI & took delivery on 10th March 2008. So yeah it does a wee bit of work

hooters night man check the events section: im curious to see which is faster

I always stick the DSG in manual mode... if I'm feeling lazy I just tap it across to "D" but that doesn't happen often, not even on long trips. I find it's too eager to kick down a gear to go up a moderate incline, when it will take the hill fine in 6th.

I'm so used to driving it as a manual that I've been known to reverse my other car from the driveway, stick it in D, then move it to neutral rather than tap the stick forward to go to second... :|
