Funnily enough audi cites efficiency reasons for axing the cvt (multitronic)in favor of the dsg

DCT or DSG (PDK for Porsche) behaves more like an MT and offers the same fuel efficiency. It also shifts quicker than an MT this offering better performance. However, a poorly designed DCT can lead to catastrophic failures like Ford’s dry clutch DCT.

Sorry, I was wrong. The Forester Diesel was offered with a CVT and an MT tranny.

The other manufacturer that uses boxer engines prefers their own version of the DSG. Porsche’s PDK is one of the best in terms of performance.
