I finally test drove the DCT today. My impressions was that it was very smooth, especially in D mode. I was initial concerned about all the reports of lag and pedal travel when starting off from a stop. Well, I didn't notice any problems starting from a start. It started off just like any other car I've ever driven.
One thing I did notice, was the lag when in S mode and pulling the paddle shifter. It happened in all S modes from S1-S5. I thought I wouldn't have a problem with it, but I did. The lag was just too much.
My final thought on the DCT was it was nice, but there wasn't the connection with the car that you would get from a stick. Needless to say, I've left the DCT camp and switched over back to the manual side. Now I just gotta call my CA to let him know I'm going to remove the DCT option.
