I think DSG reliability issues are pretty much solved, albeit with regular fluid changes on the wet clutch versions
It is however a horrible box, that dumped me more or less torqueless into the middle of a roundabout in Spain. Its so iffy you have to have auto hold off, start stop off, and balance the car on footbrake and throttle to make progress on getaways. Creep is variable on slow manoeuvres.
Its so horrible that the entire VW range was not in my thoughts when i bought a new car.
