I like the DCT a lot too.
I appreciate that I can leave it in auto and focus on car placement, brake/turn in/apex/track out markers during the sighting laps. It is nice also not to worry about losing pedal pressure on the brake from heel/toe
I do think the downshifts are a bit lazy even in sport+ / manual mode. It would be nice to have the urgency of the GTR gearbox or Porsche PDK
Also, it would be nice if there was an option to force the car to stay in gear, even at the fuel cutoff, such as when the car is sliding on corner exit. Sometimes the car will upshift automatically at the redline right when I initiate an upshift so the car will upshift 2 gears instead of 1 and cost time.
For me, at $450 the DCT is a no brainer option. Great performance bang for the buck. Look at the M3 or Porsche option sheet and it is a $3000 option and at that point I would have to think harder whether or not it is worthwhile.
