Facelift Spec Differences & Options

A driver recently fell out of the car while she was doing that exact same thing, so I can see why they introduced that feature. The uncontrolled car then pushed a passing cyclist over a seawall before crushing him to death on the beach below.

Oh yeah, that happens all the time! ;0)

Secondary accidents when the driver is incapacitated or has exited the vehicle? Yes, it's unfortunately fairly common.

Good job I don't live near the sea anymore then!

Fair point though, I can see why it's potentially dangerous. I must admit, I'm not all that keen on reversing with the DSG. It won't move until you tap the throttle, but then seems to fly back with full clutch bite instead of creeping with a bit of slip as you'd want. So it's a quick tap of the throttle and then immediately feather the brake...after that it's perfectly controllable.
