technically, DSG n CVT is diff from each other...

DSG = combination of auto n manual transmission, best of both, and dual clutch for engage and pre-engage... etc etc...

CVT = no actual gear... easier to understand, think of scooter gear...

Performance = DSG
Comfort = subjective, some will vote DSG n some will vote CVT, but CVT for performance is a no-no...

In my word, DSG's an automated manual. smile.gif If ur knowledge & skill of driving a manual is intact, then there's no problem adapting to a DSG in a short while.

While CVT is the even slicker implementation of the conventional auto. Only that, the current ones in road car cannot withstand too much torque, hence the need for 7 & 8 spd auto gb.

Who said CVT can't give performance? The Audi A4 (B6 B7 B8) & A6 (C6) FWD models are on multitronic aka CVT.

If you talk about power lose DSG will have minimum power loss compared to CVT. Thus the performance.

Anyway both gearbox can't handle high power as good as manual. Failure on DSG could cost you alot to repair.

In DSG you can always select manual shift if you don't like how it handles in traffic.

Manual gb, one can change to sports/racing clutch.

Similar can be done for DSG - change to a higher spec clutch disc. So it can handle higher power & torque.
