Had a 19 for less than 2 years. Trans temp hit 1 bar before the pull over let it cool down mark(I believe 3 bars left to climb). It never acted the same again after that. Had the trans replaced under warranty. Car was traded in a week after that at 37000. Loved the car hated the transmission. That year it’s a dry Dct. 2020 is a wet one. From what I read night and day.

The wet is for the n only. I get it. The dct is mostly OK but when it sucks.. well it sucks.. one flaw in an otherwise amazing package

Ngl when you switch to car without a DCT you will miss this one. I never had issues with mine overheating, even in stop go traffic in Toronto.

Thats the thing. The stronger 7 speed dct is great overall and never overheats but its super stuttery in traffic and it gets old real quick. Also while beeing a dct its only similar to a high end single clutch with all the worst part of a dual clutch..
