7 speed dsg - first gear is just for initial moving off, think it shifts at 5kph in my car and 6th, well... On a public road here in nanny state NSW I can effectively use 2nd to redline then 3rd and just start hitting 4th - by that stage it's lose your licence time! Mostly setup for economy these boxes.
(also the reason I'm craving a small, low powered manual thing... Drove a good pug gti6 last week. Mmm, closely spaced gears)
