They said the shifts was suppose to be fast, but it never felt THAT much quicker than a traditional automatic from toyota.

That panoroofed leaked twice.
Yepppp had a Mk7 base model - the 1.8T feels like a V6 Accord in the smaller one. I thought it was just adequate in the large Sportwagen.

The cheaper non performance 6 speed DSG is slow yes

and yeah, early Mexico builds had endless roof leak issues
