For me, the option of "D", "S" or "M" is the way to go. As I have said in previous posts, the DSG is smarter than me in selecting the right gear that suits a myriad of variables, but if I choose, I can take over. So it can be a leisurely urban car or an enthusiastic drivers' car.

I've had my R DSG for 4 days now, and 2,200ish km later I can agree to the above statement.
I did Mt Hotham, Mt Buller, Kinglake, Great Ocean Road and Great Alpine Road...
DSG+ACC in every combination.

You choose what's right for you in that situation.

I was always a "manual person", thought i'd never like this DSG thing, but it's actually very adaptable.
