I really like DCTs but not traditional autos so it was was with a fairly low expectation that I test drove a Giulia QF with the 8 speed ZF...to be honest you could barely tell the difference between the 2 except that the ZF was smoother in both auto and paddle mode. The DCT feels a bit harsher and has a subjectively slightly quicker shift but overall I wouldn't be unhappy with the ZF.
The Giulia is indeed a great drive....better than the M4 in a lot of ways except the interior, the Commodore 64 iDrive interface and the price.
