Frankly.. having driven auto and manual versions of the same car(different car, same concept), I don't notice a difference in acceleration.
if anything, the manual version feels faster, and maybe that's because there's less drivetrain loss which may not be strictly relevent in my comparison since the 'auto' was a plain planetary gear/ Torque converter auto and a DCT has less DTL than this trans.
In any event.. I don't say outloud 'damn, that felt 3/10ths slower than my old car' every time I mash the pedal. That simply does not happen anywhere except on an internet forum.
