I test-drove a DSG-equipped GTI a few weeks ago. Yeah, the GTI has the 2.0T gasser motor, but I was nothing but impressed with the DSG. Smooth, the ECU matches revs during shifts every time, up or down- and it shifts fast - as quickly as you can bump the stick or press the paddles, it changes gear and is back on the power. There is a "launch control" function that gives you a drag strip launch if you press some short combination of buttons. The shifter is like a normal manumatic so ignorant people just assume its like a normal automatic- and if you just select "D" - it works, and feels just like an automatic.. It also has a "WOT" switch on the pedal that downshifts automatically, whether you are in auto or manual mode - the switch is pretty easy to find (you have to try to press it) so the system isnt intrusive.
You don't get the efficiency loss that a Normal Auto-trans becuase a DSG has no torque converter - its 2 computer controlled clutches.

Not that MSshop is big on computer controlled stuff, but hey, I drove it, and I love it (I only drive std shifts myself). I'd rock one in heartbeat.

I know you hate VW's hattie, but test drive one, or doesn't Audi have a DSG equipped model ? Its just cool.
