CVT vs DCT

[seanlimys]

Why not. Veyron also DSG ma. I think they put in MPV because of FC bro.

i dont think they put DSG for better FC. DSG to avoid loss of power and smoother transmission.

If you are buying a car, get DCT.
If you are buying a transportation tool, get CVT.

End of story.

Article I read before.....
Direct Shift Gearbox

The Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG), otherwise known as the twin clutch, was created to eliminate the interference of power between the engine and transmission. The way the DSG transmission works is that one gear shifts in odd numbers, while the other gear shifts in even. The clutch starts the odd gearbox and the car starts running in first gear. Both the SMT and DSG have matching revved downshifts. Because of this, shifting gears isn't accompanied by jerking forward as in traditional cars. The DSG is completely computerized, which provides smoother transitions of power.

In theory, this concept is good. But in usual daily use where parts are susceptible to wear and tear, more parts in a gearbox means a higher percentage of something to break down as well. All these electronics or computerized stuffs are not exactly cheap to replace. If let's say I am searching at the used car market for an old car, I won't choose the one with a DSG just to be safe.

Haha, yeah. But manuals are declining nowadays. But if you really want it, I think can transplant from auto to manual. There are some normal FD Civics doing that now.
