Yeah, unfortunately. I've been in the "crapping pants while turning onto a major road from a side road with oncoming traffic" situation many times over the past four years. It's because the DCT is an automated manual, rather than an automatic (with lock-up torque converter) that goes the instant you tromp the gas pedal. I find that the Sport and Sport+ modes improve things a bit, but don't completely eliminate the issue. It's for this one reason alone that I want a manual back in whatever next car I get. Some will argue that a human-driven manual will have a similar delay off the line, but I think I'd feel better about it by feeling more in control of said delay.
Of course, once you're going, none can argue with the speed of the DCT upshifts.
