If I were you, I'd go for a longer test drive and ask the owner to show you how to adjust the DCT shift settings.
Well I will go for another test drive and play with the settings more and get instructions. Well let me ask this, if we compare the DCT to a regular 5speed/4speed..what will be noticeable differences beside the extremely quick shifting. I know driving a dodge charger vs a m3, transmission wise what could I perceive different other than what I stated? Maybe you could give me a better example to help me understand the answers im seeking.
