How problematic is VW's 7 speed DSG?

Minimally u shld go for the A4 w wet 7-spd DSG bro. Once u try the smooth & responsive, proper (wet) DSG, u won't wanna waste time on simi CVT or traditional torque converter anymore

I didn't drive dry clutch DSG before, but for my current 7 spd wet clutch, still notice a bit of judder around gear 1-2 at 20km/h. I think need to learn how to drive it properly to avoid judder.

Just lut and go. Don't be hesisstant on the accelerator .

 

That's where the GB is also fickle minded as to whether to up change or maintain the same gear.

It's slow traffic or stop and go traffic that causes the slight judder. No issues with normal driving.

Hopefully a software update is available to rectify the judder issue.

Owned a VW ride in 2012-2015. Wished for a software update solution but to no avail.

Hopefully a software update is available to rectify the judder issue.

It might be normal behaviour. So far I found smooth inputs are key to reducing judder.

impreza & xv also CVT, heck almost all subaru cars are using it which really kills the driving experience.

 

surprisingly the cvt on honda civic/turbo is actually not bad, somehow honda managed to tune the cvt.

 

the cvt on toyota vios is just trash, floor it and the car is still crawling regardless of engine hp/torque whatsoever.

Not bad but no matter how u tune, cvt is not the performance issue but rather no feel. Like dead fish.

For sure Facelift A3 has resolved this issue.

Wat gearbox issue?

hahaha few months ago, we discovered our dog is a car-sick prone dog. So haha she's been relegated to only going between my in-laws and my place (few mins drive) or going to the vet. [laugh]

cleaning up vomitus from car mats is not fun [dead]

1st time heard of dog car sick.
