I prefer shifts that feel more similar to a well shifted manual. This is how my 2017 Fiesta SE is. It's more exciting. CVT and hydraulic clutching systems should be what you buy, when you want the smoothest feeling shifts. I prefer feeling those changes in force on my body, as I go up and down through the gears. I can feel everything, just like a fully manual, and use it to my advantage. .

Might need to update the video regarding the types of DCTs. Wet VS dry clutches. Most manufacturers offer some dry clutch transmissions. (Hyundai/Kia actually bakes its own home-made variety and they managed to get them right). Dry dual clutch transmissions have the same maintenance schedule as manual transmissions - check transmission oil @ 60k, check at 120k, check/replace at 180k. Wet dual clutch transmissions need somewhat expensive oil changes often since that oil is used for clutch pack cooling and lubrication. Most low power applications will be dry clutches, as they're both cheaper and more efficient.

I'm one of the FANS of the Ford Fiesta, (Mk7+) with a non-turbo 1.6 DPS6. I do however drive a 2017 SE, not an earlier DPS6 TCM system. It wants to be driven, and frequently worked up and down, consistently, and smoothly through the gears exactly like a manual ....We just need to use a drill motor, and brake cleaner spray, to clear the dust out of the actuator sockets, every 40-50k miles, so the shifter forks always move freely, and quickly. This also extends the life of the actuators, and helps ensure you never bend a fork, or cause severe fork wear, too early on in the life of the fork..

DSG is not comfortable? Nonsense. The dual clutch shifts gears in less than 10 msec. without torque loss, power loss on the wheels. Its mechatronic uses oil to control the shifting with high precision. It can be reprogrammed for different modes (eco, sport, towing etc.) and that all is why these DSGs are used also in luxury and sport cars. I admit that due to their complexity there can be problems too, obviously.

Even with several early years of a few issues on the DPS6, and a lot of law suits, the DPS6 is still fun...it REALLY IS fun to drive in the twisties. Ford really screwed up, when they didn't teach their new DCT owners how to drive the new-to-Ford DPS6 DCT, that also had a few teething issues which were heavily exacerbated by new owners lack of understanding of the system, and how to operate it correctly, and efficiently, rapidly bringing about several serious dependability problems in a row, to occur at certain milages/or levels of mis-treatment of the systems. A perfect storm, unfortunately. -Hi, my name is Jay, and I love driving my non-turbo 1.6 2017 Fiesta SE DPS6...even just in Drive.... That low rpm early shift into 2nd, while cruising at 25mph averages from stop to stop, gliding along, smoother than any manual driver you know, is capable of with a clutch and a stick, just sipping fuel, has become a bit addicting...Not quite as addicting as Sport manual, or Sport automatic tho..Where you can feel every gear, just like a 6 speed manual, being shifted well.

On the first point about comfort. I'm sure for the vast majority of cases you are right but my current car is a DCT and it is as smooth and comfortable as the best manual or automatic I have driven or been in. I havnt driven any other DCTs so obviously never driven a Skoda or VW DCT and I hear they have been bad for comfort, I have driven manual versions. Mine is just an outlier I suppose because even at slow manovering speeds it is buttery smooth.

I don't want buttery smooth. I want an electronically actuated dual clutch, that behaves like a well shifted manual. I prefer feeling all the gears, as I work up and down, in all three modes I have. I fkng love my 2017 Fiesta SE, 1.6, DPS6 dry clutches. They just need the clutch dust cleared away on a regular basis now, so the forks always move completely freely. Mine has 80k now, and it still functions great....and my engine...it's nearly indestructible... 😄 ...I probably would never buy a pre-2017 SE DCT, unless it was rare, or I knew for certain it's DCT/TCM had been replaced with later units/firmware.

Asa ca, schimbatu ala manual nu e chiar atat de manual, tot calculatorul decide daca e ok sa schimbi.

@@TheMrtvamucha Taky nad tím bádám, protože kolem toho koluje tradičně milion BS nesmyslů a legend. A nikdo nikomu nic nevysvětlí. Takže nákresy, videa, texty a samostudium. 😅 Suché DQ200 díky jednoduchým zcela rozepnutým spojkám pocitově nejeví rozdíl mezi N a D/S. Mokré DSG ale po zařazení musí pohánět mechanické olejové čerpadlo a v oleji se musí protáčet až 2x14 třecích spojkových talířů, které brzdí hřídele s předřazenými 1.-2. stupni. Proto lehce zvýšené otáčky a vibrace. Tolik komponentů těsně u sebe v oleji prostě nějaký odpor tvoří. Ale není tu prakticky žádný problém s otěrem a přehříváním. Samozřejmě, když někde stojíš 5,10,20 minut a “musí” ti běžet motor, tak je lepší dát tam P, ale N je fakt jen pro servisní účely. Naopak cvoci, kteří stále řadí N způsobují rázy a nejhorší je to za jízdy a nebo když zapomenou zařadit, dají plyn, vyletí otáčky a nic a oni se leknou a narvou tam D dřív, než otáčky padnou na minimum. A po těchto inženýrech pak kupci ojetin dostávají ty špatné a zlé DSG.
