I'm not sure about the DCT, but I suspect the problem on the manual transmission is people would wear their clutch quick always slipping it to take off from stoplights.

That's one of the biggest complains I have with my 2011 Focus. You can't let out the clutch and go, it will stall. I don't like that.
