another question that has been bugging me.

Lets say im in a parking lot and the speed is posted 5mph. What gear are you guys doing that in? it feels like first does not like it and second just wants to take off hehe.

I'd say 2nd, 1st is really for those dead stop take offs once you get going get into second even if its for 5mph.

Keep in 2nd if you want but dont give it gas. The engine should be producing enough torque to keep the car from stalling.

LOL! I idle in 1st and that does the trick.

It's really hard to idle in 2nd slower than 10 MPH, but that may be just my car.

The common torque converter automatic will NEVER be as fast as the DSG transmissions. The reason those transmissions are so fast is because they have a separate clutch for 1,3,5 and 2,4,6. When in one gear, the other clutch has already positioned itself for the next gear. The change between gears becomes seamless and no power is lost in the transfer between gear sets. Even the single disc Ferrari transmissions that shift faster than any other single disc transmission still don't shift as fast as a DSG. That's all there is to it.
