Also been driving DSG for the last 10 years and have had no issues. All petrol engines. We have a tricky T junction exit onto the busy A35 – I select sport mode when approaching which gives a more dynamic response. Allegedly VAG dropped the ball when reprogramming engine management for the hastily imposed WLTP test regime, but software updates have improved the reported tardiness/ jerkiness. My next car is the 1.5 TSI dsg and hope it is as good as current 1.4. have had no problems with the dry clutch 7 speed box used on lower powered vag cars which caused some reliability issues according to Honest John. High powered and higher torque engines use a 7 speed dsg wet clutch box. Moving up to top end 3/4 litre cars use the ZF 8 speed torque converter box
