would be nice if they could offer a DCT like the volster N. I'd consider it.

The 8 speed in our X1 is pretty good. Its apparently an Aisin (toyota) unit too, which would make sense since the car is FWD based instead of RWD like the other cars equipped with the ZF transmission.
It all comes down to shift logic programming, and i think most manufacturers just tune them for maximum efficiency rather than gearing them for maximum performance and response.
