Had a Golf TDI as a daily with it, worked excellent. Fell in love how fast it shifted and how it barely dropped RPM between shifts.
Currently have a Honda motorcycle with one and would never go back to a standard trans.

Agree. Loved the DSG in my modded GTI. The harder you accelerated, the quicker the shifts. Always drove it in manual mode. Instantaneous shifting. Literally a clutchless manual.
