Recently had an X-Trail with CVT at our place for a month.
Dont know if I could ever get used to the transmission.
That said a DSG takes a while to master, but now I love it.
That's what I was going to say. Wow you get all that on a Dualis but the reality is still that they're not selling. They're as boring as b*****t, there's no diesel option and what we get here is very limited to overseas (I'm still surprised they brought the +2). We looked at a Ti 4WD when we got the RS and it was only $2k less in reality, and the RS is wayyy more car. I also see the Yeti's rivals as Rav4, Tiguan, Forester etc because they can actually (mildly) do the off-road thing, Dualis cannot at all!

I don't like the DSG while reverse parking, or really for reversing at all, I can never tell when its going to kick in, mainly as I'm used to either normal autos where they hill hold and then just go, or manuals where you control exactly when the clutch bites.
I have had a few instances parallel parking and having to reverse up a hill into the spot and found it really hard in the DSG Octavia I normally hire.
Agree with that. Weakest part of the DSG. I haven't done it often enough on a hill to come up with a technique. Invariably every time I do it, I forget its a problem and have that moment where I expect reverse to kick in and it doesn't. Then I hit the brake and we rinse and repeat
