I'd like to see BSFC charts (if they have them), and perhaps ask them about wear items like the clutch packs. Dual clutches historically have been a pain, but I've heard clutch pack kits have become available locally through dealerships. Was wondering if that was the same there.

Also, since the 3-cylinder is internally balanced, does that mean the manual version gets a standard (not dual mass) flywheel?

Be interested to hear about the gearing, too. When I drove one (a DCT) a while back, it felt longer than the gearing in the old 1.6, but not really unusually so. Sadly, my drive was hobbled by a very "green" engine and low-octane gas. Supposedly, the car does better on higher octane.
