Contemplating a new purchase - and having done a test-drive/configuration in July - now I was asked by the dealer to re-do my configuration due to some “technical changes” in the french-market model palette. Now I see that the drivetrain combo that I want is only offered with 7-speed dual-clutch- no more Aisin 8-box. They don’t have it available for test - so I really don’t know what I’m getting myself into.. Has anyone tested the new DCT and can someone share their opinion on it here, specifically how it fares against the good old slushbox? Geartronic was slow alright but it was trouble-free and well suited to the character of these cars/engines offered.. I imagine DCT should provide for quicker shifts and (maybe?..) slightly better fuel economy/performance - but is it as reliable/low maintenance as old-school torque-converters?.. Cheers! __________________ V60 D3 V60 D5 RD XC60 D5 RD AWD XC40 B4 RD AWD
