I can see why evo mag said
a) the box makes you question the need for heavy costly double clutchers

Yep, think I said earlier or in another post I said this up there with the DCT I tried in the m3. It's slightly slushy if you pull away slowly, but otherwise it locks up so quickly it's does feel like a clutch. Equally in sport mode, as you spotted the change speed is v.impressve.
Only think I am struggling with is 8 gears when in manual model eg dropping 4 cogs to enter a fast corner
Btw mate, can you remind me of that alloy wheel place you bought your winter wheels from (post from 2 years ago I think!)?

Dial in sport handling or economical cruising comfort, so no big compromise either way.
Kick-ass performance
Quite reasonable economy on long trips and not punitively bad around town.
Plenty of storage capacity and 4 good seats
An affordable price tag with really attractive financing and super economical service packs
And it does sound amazing
Hmmmmm

Yep, great summary
Got 34mpg in the way home last night including some pretty rapid overtaking!
