To those of you with a 2019 Cupra... how is the DSG7 box?

[SitdownandhaveaCupratea]

Based on the info available at seat.com about DQ381and info found in an older Leon brochure about DQ250 ratios, I put together the following table:

It shows that gears I-III are very close (with DQ381 being just a little bit shorter) and gears IV-VI are identical. I was quite surprised by that, I was expecting DQ381 to be shorter for gears I-VI, with VII being a little above VI from DQ250...

The speed for 7th gear 1000rpm is 55.9/1.609=34.7 mph, which is in line with the value given two posts above.

^^^ I did a similar thing but in MPH, I have not compared the figures but you might find it useful?

Guys my sincere apologies I somehow completely missed these posts! Very useful tables, thanks for putting the effort in the rest of us really appreciate it!

First day with the car today, first impressions are great... other than an over keenness for the STOP/START to kick in I can't really fault the gearbox.

Do you have any specific queries?

My specific queries are in the first post.

Basically I bought a DSG6 which I haven't picked up yet and am now having last minute regrets now the DSG7 box is out. I am wondering if it is worth cancelling the DSG6 (and making an enemy of my dealer) to get the DSG7... I am thinking resale value, and improved motorway cabin economy/quietness may be worth it. However, I have also heard the DSG6 is pretty much a flawless match in terms of power delivery for a Cupra.
