Roughly the same can be said for wet-clutch DSGs. In the real world, a DSG car tends to get slightly lower fuel economy than a manual, though EPA tests have said slightly the opposite. Both CVTs and DSGs have smoother shifting than either traditional automatics or manuals, so it's a reasonable compromise. I haven't seen if newer dry-clutch DSGs actually outperform in terms of fuel economy in the real world yet.

I believe it's generally still the case that a manual is still better than a DSG, which is better than a CVT, which is better than a slushbox auto.]]>Mar 5th 2008 4:11PM
