Crawling in Sydney traffic with DSG

[heyasam]

Wondering if there is any benefit to trying to shift gears manually rather then letting the DSG hunt back and forth when you have to do the extended crawl through slow traffic?

Just dont creep it with foot on brake or will start to smell crispy

Get a manual!
(only joking............makes my clutch foot hurt!)

Just get one with Driver assist... no need to do nothing. Will brakes stops and accelerates by itself.

Yes driver assist would be very nice, but don't see a retrofit to my van happening

With my regular commute, although I don't have creeping city traffic, I've found myself using D, S, & manual for different parts of the journey depending on the conditions. Manual mode may reduce the number of gear changes & have a more fun & engaging drive & does still down-shift for you if the revs get too low.
This is my first vehicle in 35 years that isn't a manual & i'm quite enjoying the transmission! I probably would have bought a manual though, if it were available.
