The design of the DSG is such that by attempting to mimic a 'proper' auto it inevitably means that established automatic drivers will try to use DSGs in the same way, which is fatal to them. I've never knowingly met anybody else with one who has even read this injunction in the manual, so I'd never contemplate a second hand one.
They were developed by Porsche for racing, because of their ability to provide almost continuous torque through gear changes. That is where they should have stayed.
