The beast will squeal its tires from 1-2 and 2-3. It also blips the throttle for you on downshifts. So, no regrets with the tranny. It is not a manual. You can't feather the engine but, it's quite suitable for those who love MT.

the problem with DSG is not its speed, its functionality, or how involving it is in the manual mode.
It's the fact that it's not
manual. The only connection between man and machine is the steering, the pedals and the stick. Lose the stick and you lose 1/3 of the fun. With paddle shifters, you lose 1/6 of the fun by gaining 1/2 of that 1/3 back.
