It is impossible to classify a DCT type transmission as a manual, or an automatic, it’s neither. It’s also impossible to determine whether you’d like it or not until you’ve driven it. The DCT on paper is very different than the DCT you drive, very different indeed, and truly its a new class of gearbox.

All comments welcome .
For someone experiencing currently how you felt about the DCT previous to ownership, I appreciate the post.
But like you said...still gotta drive it.
I hope to soon.
