So which do you think is closer to being correct (5.9 A3 or 6.7 A4)?

Well, you have to test drive the 3.2S Quattro with DSG, put it in S gear program and floor it!

Then we will talk :-)

I am not just saying it......

I bought one.

Default Until I tried the DSG I was a three-pedal snob

This is the first auto-manual I like, granted I don't think it is miles ahead of the manual to justify the price premium.

If I understand the concept it effectively allows the car to transition between the two cars without disrupting power delivery, hence the ability to be faster.

Well said Bill...

and one more think....

How come the top motorsport racing like Formula-1 and WRC are exclusively using manu-matics?

If anyone can clutch-swift-release clutch in .2 seconds or less then you do not need DSG.

Audi's DSG is the only way to swift.....
