VW also claims a better mpg for the DSG versus the stick. I claim the DSG in our Jetta gets pretty good mpg for the crappy city traffic it is in most frequently.

I also claim that the thing shifts almost imperceptibly to the folks in the car. Although my frame of reference at the time was a Celica slushbox and a manual Audi TT heavily modded for track use. The standard shift setting in the Jetta hustles you up to 6th gear awful quickly, but it's pretty difficult to notice.

I think it's a good thing.
