The one I drove was just after they switched from a wet to a dry clutch many years ago. As soon as you touched the brake pedal to slow it down it completely disengaged drive and the slow manoeuvre was likened to 'kangarooing' by some.
They have improved the DSG box tremendously since it was first introduced. The early ones were a bit jerky but the latest ones are smooth and excellent. It is a bit different from conventional autos but once you get used to it very quickly.
