You all need to untuck yours and act like you got a pair! Doing 1/4 mile runs then get your jollies off by talking about how good you can drive...oooh I went in a straight line and pressed a button....PATHETIC! Ant to the dude from the UK...you came over here and got fat and lazy like the rest. Also imagine how F1 series would be if they actually used a clutch!

DSG sucks.

A car like the Mitsubishi Evo X will basically be a vehicle full of the top technology you can find in any car sold to the general public in this planet. But when it comes to the transmission, I see so many people asking for a 6 speed manual: all the best technology in the upcoming Evo X is there, but you want age old stuff (=manual tranny) when it comes to changing gears ? Wake up people, the most advanced tech in trannies available today is DSG (and honestly as well the SMG and the F1 tranny in Ferrari's): it changes gears in 8 MILLISECONDS (basically it preloads the gear the car's computer believes it's going to be your choice) and it matches revs PERFECTLY on downshifts. No human being in this planet can do that to the same level of perfection DSG does. And besides this, DSG offers the driver the same control you have with a manual tranny... Finally, in F1 and Rallyes, semiauto trannies like this DSG have been in use for ages now...F1 is the highest form of motor racing and they DO NOT use manuals, let me repeat it. By the way, I am a European living in the USA (used manuals for 20 years, now I have an auto...next car will be either DSG or SMG...)...and it's SO RIDICULOUS seeing so many Americans thinking that being able to operate a clutch is some kind of elite skill. Where I come from, even 90 year old great grandmas can operate a manual...and it's more or less like that in the rest of the world. By definition then, if billions of people can use a manual tranny, that can't be that much of an elite skill. You ought to be grateful that Mitsubishi is gonna make this car with a DSG...the best in the world, when it comes down to trannies... Ahhhh…the ignorance of the average person never ceases to amaze me…

So this "auto = wussies" stuff is a load of crap, you go faster with the DSG. Having said that I'd still take the manual because it'd be more fun and I suspect unless you're racing competitively the DSG isn't going to make a huge amount of difference.

Its considerd a Manual tranny with an automatic mode. It is far better then automtaic and manual transmissons because it offers the perfomance and convinence of an auto with control of a stick shift. So in this case It will simply make the car a better all around performer and I highly doubt it will be shunned my ethusists. the DSG is not an automatic tranny with a manu-matic control.

I tend to dislike autos simply because I personally don't feel in as much control during tight in-town driving and at times when I want to use engine braking on fast runs. Having said that, the VW DSG lets you make amazingly fast progress and still relies on you to pick your attack carefully to get the best out of the car - it may be fingertip control but you still have to nail the shifts just right, the difference being that you only have no drive to the wheels for 0.2 of a second rather than up to the 1 second it might take for a decent manual shift so you can be right back on the pace exactly when you want to be. Still that's just me - F1 drivers don't seem to have any problem with only having two pedals, and Ferrari spend a serious amount of money getting their autoboxes just right , so I don't think the accusation that they're for 'wusses' really holds much water. Besides, double clutching might feel great and rev matching feel great when you get them right but you *really* wouldn't want to have to do them for the entire length of every single journey... :) I agree completely – I’m completely at home with any manual shift you throw at me, but DSG is a whole different ballgame.

I do enjoy manual but DSG is more efficient at shifting and therefore boosts economy and performance (notably performance). ^ same thing British Rover said.

I can heel and toe downshift, double clutch and match revs on pre-1950's non-syncro gear boxes as well. I do enjoy the driver to machine connection that a tradition manual allows but the DSG does have its advantages. I can drive a maual transmission just fine thank you.

These are all arguments from people that cannot drive standard. Stop being pussies and learn how to properly operate a clutch and smooth heel-toe shifting. Yuppies and soccer moms drive automatics. You're not gonna notice 0.3 seconds of a difference in shifting time but you'll get a whole lot more pleasure to manually operate an engine and control all of its horsepower the way you want it.
