Hi, Guest
Actually the DSG is a fully automated clutch for a manual, amongst other things. It CAN shift automatically, or you can do all the shifting (via paddle/button, sure) and really lay waste to a lot of manuals.
Check Youtube for the Best Motoring episode where they take a DSG GTi and put it against a stick GTi and a Renault Megane with 220HP. Got it - http://youtube.com/watch?v=gmMNRQ1GJ3o
If I find it again, I'll link it.
To be fair, I was less than impressed with the 6-speed Tiptronic in the 5-door Rabbit we test-drove. It was slick, but it was laggy to shift for sure.
