What is the verdict on the DSG transmission offered on Audi models. Not
sure whether to opt for it or stick with manual. Any comments appreciated. Saj |

Re: DSG Tansmission
I have this in an A3 with the 3.2 V6 engine. Better than an Auto and can be
used as a manual with step less changes. The biggest advantage is that there is no torque converter to wind up when you want to make a fast exit from a junction. It also has 'launch control'. There have been reports in a number of the Audi news groups about problems on the TT and some early A3's but I have had none and have also driven 4 other A3's / TT's with DSG and they work fine. Before deciding on the DSG I drove an A3 3.2 with the 6 speed manual transmission, it was almost impossible to obtain a smooth change as the clutch was like a switch - in or out and not what I expected so the DSG was the easy choice. This is my first non manual car in 40+ years of driving and have moved from a Volvo S60 2.4T to the Audi. The ride is no where as compliant as the Volvo - but its a lot more fun. David |

Re: DSG Tansmission
Thanks for that martin.
But how reliable is the system over the long term. The thought of all those electronics at work lead me to think that there is all the more that can go wrong with the system.
