Jazz tidy….

I finally ordered my Jazz today after a quick 20 minute test drive. I am reassured by your forums when people say you do get used to it but am still worried that after having such a wonderful CVT box that I won't be able to adjust and will rue the day that I didn't go for the Golf DSG. I must say I have been swayed very much by the marvellous accommodation that the Jazz offers for those with wheelchairs and storage needs (Magic Seats, etc.). Can you reassure me that I will get used to it, or have I gone for a lemon missing out on the Golf?

I got used to it to the point of driving it instinctively. If you're light on the throttle you won't feel the lurches between upchanges.
But it certainly isn't a lazy drivers box.
