^^^what he said


I'm more worried about a turbo failing than the DCT on these cars.
The stock turbo won't fail unless running it hard (FBO and custom tune) and if it does get a pure stage 2 and enjoy 400+whp. The only things that are needed on the way to 200k miles are:

-lots of oil changes
-oil leaks (big one being oil pan gasket)
-1-2 DCT fluid/filter services which are around $400 each
-other normal wear times
-electronics going bad over time
