1) I love me some heel-toe downshifts. Yes, a DSG can do it for you, but part of the fun is being able to do it yourself.
B) DSG is cool, and worlds better than a traditional auto, but... my biggest hangup is that you can't downshift/upshift and skip a gear or two. Sometimes I want to downshift from 5 to 3. I don't want to hit the (-) button twice and have it go 'brap' 'brap' - I just want it to skip 4th all together.
3) My experiences with CVT automatics have been in several Nissans (of varying power/cylinder amounts) and my rental Dodge Caliber freshman year. They all suck.
