Not true with a Skoda Octavia Diesel DSG, I had from 2009 for 2 years.
It would hesitate at junctions, sometimes for a few seconds.
This resulted in 2 people rear ending my car.
I will never but a VAG group car again.
Others faults with this car, the radio/cd failed during warranty, I had to wait over a year for a replacement.
Bulbs kept blowing.
The black film on the window switches rubbed off when it was about 18 months old, Skoda didn’t fix.
Plus other faults.
Got rid after very soon. It had only done about 20k miles, when I got rid.
