Most people judge a transmission by how transparent the shifts feel. Full throttle "fast as possible" shifting is another situation entirely and would probably rattle any rocks in anyone's head quite a bit.
In Australia, they all use the DSG box, "s-tronic" in audi speak. Thanks for the PDF as well, having good read of it now.
