Apart from Honda Accord and Toyota Avensis, is there any others?

Hyundai Sonata/i40, Kia Magentis/Optima, Lexus, Toyota/Lexus hybrids (jury is still out on other makes), Mercedes, BMW (careful here, gearboxes lovely if maintained well, engines need research and more frequent servicing than stated), Suzuki Kizashi, even Chevrolet but remember they are disappearing.

Far as I know the current model smaller VW/Seat/Audi/Skoda petrol engines such as 1.2 / 1.4 all use the 7sp "dry clutch" system. All the diesels & 2.0 petrols use the 6sp "wet clutch" system which will take more torque. An exception to this is the 7sp wet clutch system used on my Tiguan and Audi quattros etc. together with 4wd. ( anybody please correct if wrong )

I've had both and can say that the only problem I've had was a juddering clutch on a Golf Mk6 1.4 tsi. Replaced under warranty at the time.

The dsg takes a bit of getting used to. It can be very snatchy / jerky below about 15 mph, and when pulling away from rest. You have to be accurate with your throttle operation. Above about this speed its generally excellent. I would recommend trying before you buy.

I suppose I generally agree that the DSG has had it's issues. Mine has had a new clutch pack under warranty due to clutch judder. You'd hope that someone as big and influential as VAG could sort out potential problems after this length of time. Mine was repaired after about two years in to it's three year warranty...no problems getting it done after they, initially, tried out re-programming it (or whatever they call it) and finally decided it needed a new clutch. I think they've now acknowledged the problem and fix it without a load of negotiation.

Don't have any problem at low speed for 99 percent of the time and conclude that if there ever is a bit of a low speed hiccup then that is outweighed by the cracking performance of the trasmission for the rest of the time. I love it and the manual over-ride facilities if offers, should you want them. Now the warranty is expired I'll pay just under £150 a year for an extended warranty which, I'm assured, will cover the transmission therefore I can continue to enjoy the DSG without worrying about a big bill to fix it should it go wrong. At least that's the theory!
