I have had my Z for 3 years. Even though I should not get another vehicle, but I have always liked the Audi TTS. From a financial point of view, it makes absolutely no sense as it is twice the money for not much more performance. Yet I really want an DSG equipped vehicle so I don't have to shift anymore, the stupid automatic in the Z or most other cars are not the same thing (no offense 7AT owners). I also like the TTS as it has enough space for a baby seat and for my little dogs. I have been using my Z as a baby car, but I would prefer not to as I am not even sure if a regular babyseat can fit due to the way the seat is.
And no, I don't want a Mustang or Corvette or Genesis. I am just interested in the TTS at this point. (Stupid car is 35-40K used!!!). I am probably dreaming at this point. I probably have a better chance buying a Tesla right now given our needs.

Not the same thing? You guys over-exaggerate that shyt way too much just to create forum drama. Yeah DCT systems don't have torque converter drone. So thats nice but not going to make the experience much better or worse. The only situation that improves by a large margin is the average DCt rtransmission for a sports car has a 500hp to 700hp threshhold. Now if you're modding a $65,000 unreliable audi for power? That will be a huge advantage in a long road of spending a lot of money.
But two stock cars shifting... one 7at from nissan. (excluding lesser autos made by ZF and Aisin) and a dct in say a bmw or audi. The difference is marginal.
That said... There are better cars than Audi TTS for the money.
