I will go test drive a VW with DSG, as we are in the market at some point for a jetta diesel wagon...
That said, I have 120k miles on my original clutch in my 91 318i, and I have driven that in a LOT of traffic... it is great in traffic. My wife's old integra was terrible... it seems that BMW is an OK traffic MT... Though Ill try to simulate that on a test drive I guess.
Sounds like the MT is still for me, which is exactly what I anticipated... since the MT will still be there on a MY11, Im happy.
Seems that the clutch heating mentioned above is due to drivers NOT putting the trans in neutral, and thus the clutch sitting at the bite point too much/too long. Maybe there is truth in the wiki write-up? I always put my slushbox ATs in neutral when stopped or coasting to a stop in traffic...
Thanks!
