....I am impressed with how solid the build quality feels and how quiet it is inside, and this is with studded snow tires driving on rough Alaska pavement. Sitting at a light idling it seems buttery smooth too. So far I'm also pleased with the DCT transmission. From what I've read about the engineering of this transmission it seems it would be less prone to problems with less moving parts and what seems to be a "simpler" design than a typical automatic transmission. Just some observations......
