Should I buy a Leon FR DSG?
Hello, I currently own a Honda Civic Hybrid but I feel I've done my bit for the planet and was thinking of buying a used SEAT Leon FR with a DSG gearbox - what's your view?

I don't like DSGs because of the way they can hesitate wen exiting side roads and entering roundabouts. But a petrol Leon 2.0TFSI manual with the later chain cam engine, fine.
