I'm kind of surprised that you don't like it. Maybe its a poor implementation. Its the same transmission that the VW Golf R uses and other AWD golf models.
Not really the same. Ford's PowerShift is a poor-man's DCT which had been plagued by engineering defects, bad firmware & software, and is the subject of lawsuits all over the world. Ford put profits over quality and some say over passengers' safety.
VW Group's Tiptronic & Tiptronic-S DSG is based on Borg-Warner's designs which VWG licensed. It's just not in Golfs. Used in most of VWG's line: Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, Škoda and VW in various configurations.
iirc, Mercedes uses a quite similar B-W design also.
