I took what was available so I did not care if it was manual or auto. After driving it for a year I have no issues with the DCT and it's a hoot to drive. But as a potential long term car (like my 13 year old RS6 that needs a little more work, friggen EGR valves) I am concerned over the longevity of the DCT. Manual transmissions if properly driven and services will last forever with an occasional new clutch. But the DCT will need special service at 100k miles etc....

So for me I vote Keep the Manual ALIVE! Hell, charge more for the Manual like they used to for the Automatic.
