I have never driven a car with a DCT. But I have read about them, and read they’re like an automated manual. And have read that they operate more similarly to a manual trans than an auto. But everything is happening…automatically.

I have read they can be jerky, and can wear out faster by creeping in traffic slowly, which automatics don’t have issues with.

For those who have driven/owned them, what do they drive like? Does it feel mostly like you’re driving an automatic, or does it have a different feel? And do they have true advantages vs a good torque converter automatic like a ZF8?
