^^^ Because flicking it into 'N' and putting the handbrake is easier and quicker than shifting all the way to P.

yeah but that's just it, i never put it in p unless i've truly parked up, i.e finished the journey. Whenever i came up to lights i just braked to a standstill, keept it in D, left my foot on the brake and when the lights went green moved off the brake and onto the accelerator.

As i say maybe the dsg demands you drive differently to this, i wouldn't know but my experience of driving automatics has never ever involved neutral  :laugh:

I,m just getting used to my first adventure into DSG..I notice one thing coming from a manual..Hill starts are rubbish..It always drops back before power kicks in.. :scared:

After a week and a half with dsg I'm still getting used to this myself!

Just let your foot off the brake pedal a bit slower to give the clutch a chance to bite!  :happy2:

Keep forgetting to do that!!
