So, what faults if any have you had with DSG, have you had any small little blips in the operation ?, does it get confused very occasionally , or have you had anything major ?

Only thing I'm not sure is DSG or not is sometimes when slowing for a junction or traffic lights, get a hesitation / judder between 2nd and 1st. But other than that no issues with DSG - other than it makes me lazy. :)

Only goes D to N like that - must be a safety "feature" in case you need to get it out of gear in a hurry

Need to use trigger for everything else

Can't be good needing assistance to get your knob into gear.
