What is DSG? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-Shift_Gearbox

DSG is it! I hope I can afford a ride that has DSG in a few years' time...

yes you can... Ford Focus TDCi A/T actually has a DSG tranny. I have driven it last year. Heavy car due to the weight of the diesel motor PLUS the weight of the DSG tranny.

true, lots of torque but didn't you notice the super stiff suspension to support the heavy front end from plowing into the pavement at every corner?

M/T for the win. Never send a computer to do a man's job.

dapat MT vs AT vs CVT vs DSG..

yup DSG mas ok... shifts faster than conventional MT-driver, di nakakatakot i-hard driving...

CVT more on effieciency, and parang nakakatakot i-drive hard... at least DSG or MT either for effiecent driving or hard driving..

For fun and challenge, nothing beats an MT. But for going fast, the DSG is tops. It allows you to keep both hands on the wheel, where they belong, it shifts faster than you can, and there's better power-transfer than with a single-clutch or torque-converter tranny.

Yeah, it's heavy... but considering all modern cars are porkers...

if you have driven a modern matic car for quite some time, you will never go back to manual. promise.

Kanya kanya lang yan ako din sided ako duon sa mga naka automatic na at ayaw na bumalik sa manual. Sa bahay we have only one manual left (the Landcruiser) and I hate driving it madalas kung may driver I let the driver drive it nakakatamad sobra...
