hi all have been reading some bad reviews on the gla 7 speed dct gearbox.can anyone put my mind at ease as ive got a gla with the dct on order for early march.only other dct type car that ive been in before is an audi and there dsg box is awesome.

I've never owned an Audi so just out of interest, in what way is theNigel smith said:I had the q5 auto before my GLa there is no comparison the audi is streets ahead sorry to say
No, but my point is that if I was cruising in Eco seventh gear and put my foot hard down, I would expect to notice a lag as (a) the gearbox changes down four gears, and (b) the turbo starts its wind-up. All these engineering facets are a compromise between performance, comfort, economy and durability. I am very happy with the GLA's gearbox because I when I go into 'race' mode (in my head), the car is fantastically powerful, responsive and silky-smooth with its seamless gear changes. I didn't buy a race car, but I've certainly got more than I expected in this regard350Mat said:Roy if you don't drop down manually with the pedals do you still notice a bit of lag?
