Just got back from a brief 1/2 hour tryout with the new TT.
Got to say, extremely impressed with the DSG box. It is as smooth as a torque convertor shift round town, and is fast and precise on country roads.
I recently owned an M3 with SMG II and the DSG is massively superior in all respects. The M3 made passengers feel the driver was a beginner in urban conditions, they wouldn't even notice DSG.
Obviously the TT felt a bit underpowered just stepping out of my RS6, but from my short drive the handling felt taut and the engine revved willingly and smoothly.
Hope the use of this gearbox becomes more widespread, maybe even in the next RS6?
