Im hoping i will feel the same when mine is available, test drove plenty and it will just take time to adjust to the box and your driving style. One of my main reasons has been traffic driving and constantly changing gear, also old age is setting in at 29 and my football injuries are catching up with me

I agree - a single test drive is unlikely to make up your mind on whether it works for you, especially if you are used to a manual. It's literally taken about two months since ownership to work out how to drive mine properly!! It is pretty awesome when you get it nailed. A lot of people have commented on losing the feel they used to get with a manual box. Maybe, but the pleasure I used to get driving a manual over DSG I've found wasn't 'better', just 'different'. For some this difference is too for removed from traditional manual. However as its an auto aswell its so nice around town and like having two cars in one.
For me the only downside is a niggling worry its going to go wrong one day and cost me ££££s!
