Is the Volkswagen Polo DSG reliable?
I am toying with buying a new Volkswagen Polo - possibly DSG. What is the latest on the DSG auto gearbox, is it reliable?

The Polo doesn't get the latest version of the DSG. Still stuck with the seven-speed dry clutch DSG that caused all the trouble and is still causing trouble. Avoid.
