One run, I went through the finish lights more or less sideways. Meanwhile I was thinking, "in half a second, the rears will gently grab, I'll dial out a little steering, and that'll be it."

Sure enough, half a second later, the rear tucked nicely back into line.

Pardon the shaky video, I was using an iPhone with a cheezy suction cup mount on the inside of the windshield.

Liking the DCT? Any regrets at not getting the 6MT?
Do you drive the DCT mostly in the manual mode?
