Rather than a slushbox auto it is a snappy manual except the clutch is managed by a servo or computer or something. I haven't heard about the ford ones but the vw dual clutch ones are awesome to drive. Often due to the lack of slush and power loss between shifts of these new auto boxes the mpg rating is actually higher than the manuals!
