Even a traditional clutch and gearbox has fairly high consumables costs when there is a large engine and a heavy car involved. Can't comment on the lifespan of the DSGs but my 3 litre V6 Alfa had its first clutch after 10 years and 130K miles, so I don't see it's a problem if the right unit is used. The newer, 7 speed DSGs are very fuel efficient, they actually seem to give better economy, lower CO2 emissions and better performance than 6 speed manuals! I have to disagree with you re the slushboxes, though. Horribly inefficient things! I am only now remembering why I disliked them so much before... |
