No because the DSG gearbox is effectively two gearboxes is one unit.
One does 1st 3rd & 5th and the other 2nd 4th & 6th.
So when in 3rd 4th gear is already spinning waiting for the change so its seemless. None of the lag tradionally known with automatics.
Is so refined that in a drag race...
I went for the GTi version with the DSG gearbox and flappy paddle gear change. and the wife's commute in it is only 2 miles each way. :)
Had to go petrol as for a diesel model that commute would have destroyed the DPF.
absolute joy to drive. You cant go wrong with a Golf.
