Personally I find it bumpy but more in a responsive rather than uncomfortable way. Some vehicles, especially in comfort mode can feel detached from the road without much information coming through the steering wheel. I feel the Allspace on 19inch alloys has found a great balance of a responsive, yet comfortable ride. Also, It is my first automatic and have been pleasantly surprised by the DSG box, especially in sport mode where there is almost no delay when planting your foot on a motorway slip road. Yet to try the tiptronic gate or the paddle shifts.
