If you want terrible shifting, try a Dodge Journey 4 cylinder with the 4 speed auto transmission. My wife has one and it never seems to be in the right gear for what you are trying to do!
i cant stand how it jerks you to a stop. I have a 2017 and the acceleration is fine, no jerkiness really, but how the DSG downshifts when you are rolling forward slowly is horrendous. Honestly sometimes it makes me wish i just had a CVT.
Most annoying thing?
That the car is 2 weeks old and some a-hole just rear ended me at an intersection because he was looking to the left and just assumed that I had gone.
While I halfway agree with you on that the other side of me says just get the tuneThat may be, but it means having to spend more money to fix something that comes from the factory like that.
Throwing money at problems can fix many of them most of the time, but eventually you could throw so much money at the car you'd be shopping for a different car.

If you are really getting a clunk or very noticeable bump when slowing down you should go to the dealership and get the DSG looked at.
Just remember, the DSG at it's core is a automated manual transmission. Meaning, drive it like a manual transmission and it'll be much smoother. If you're coming from a slush box transmission this transmission could indeed feel a bit direct. But to should be very smooth on up shifts (acceleration). Again if downshifts (when slowing) aren't feeling smooth I'd highly recommend a trip to the dealership.
The aluminum pedals look good, but using them when your shoes are wet is a pain. My foot has come very close to slipping off the clutch in mid shift many times.
Anyone have problems with going 1st to 2nd on the MT? Feels EXTREMELY rough for a car with a DMF. It also makes very loud clunking noises which sometimes happen 2nd to 3rd as well. Bad pressure plate?
I had a thread about my slipping clutch from basically new, got it replaced under warranty, but now have noticed this. Oddly it only starts happening after the car warms up and continues from then on. When the car is cold, for the first minute or so, 1st to 2nd is smooth as butter.
Will be taking it back to the dealer but definitely another annoying clutch problem.
