TeaLeaf:
Are all hatchbacks going to be costly due to this DSG style torque converter, do all 2005 onwards hatchbacks use this style Auto?
Its actually harder to find a manual now than an auto funny enough.
DSG is not a traditional auto
Manual: Gear + clutch
Auto: Gear + torque converter or something like that, no clutch
DSG: Gear + 2 robotic clutches, no torque converter ...
CVT: no gear no clutch no torque converter ... has 2 belts and 2 cones :)
Not many cars come with dual clutch tranny ... I'd say mainly traditional autos, pretty reliable though not as robust as traditional manuals
