So how can it be used? Is it someone else's old car that's being passed on?

That's generally how it happens at first, pool car list and then order new at the end of that.

Foot down on the brake.

Its not tbh( or at least not in many places I've had cars) but it does make sense as the lease needs to be used if someone leaves I guess

It is in the last 4 companies I've worked for, they obviously want to get rid of any existing fleet before ordering new.

I'm getting a Seat Leon FR 1.8 TSI delivered in April with DSG, really thought it suited the car and made driving effortless on my commute. The tips in this thread are good to know.

Enjoyed my 2012 GTI with DSG immensely.
Mainly I'm just using in D without the paddles, S is a bit too crazy for everyday driving and triggers the change up to happen at ~6k rather than ~3k RPM.. which is unnecessary (for me) 99.9% of the time.
I have just completed 45k km and my 3rd service and no issues whatsoever with the DSG, and I am pretty much doing only urban driving with short journeys.

I would have no hesitation in getting another DSG car.

The DSG is also great in snow and slow traffic as it can just creep without any imput from the driver.

I believe once the technical issues are ironed out it will be the future for cars. I was told by a VW rep that he sells more DSG's than manuals (Cant confirm but I can believe it)

It's a manual gearbox, changed automatically. Easy
