I have the DCT too and love it.

Congrats and welcome to 1ADDICTS!

Lots of good info here, so read on!
The new R has about the same power and torque profile as the base Cayman/Boxster plus is AWD, it’s definitely no slouch. Speaking of which can’t wat for our Boxster to arrive tomorrow!

As for the 135i, the DCT is very good especially in sport mode. It keeps you in the powerband and holds gears for the right amount of time. Like the new Golf R, the power and torque profile is very broad and flat so it’s hard to be on the wrong gear.
