I wonder if folks are mistaking DSG behavior for turbo lag in this car? I drove one from CLT to DCA the other week, and while I didn't notice turbo lag, I did notice some rough/delayed shifts out of the DSG.
It's a nice car -- though I agree with drzoidberg that ingress/egress is a pain. I kept hitting my head. No problem with room once *in* the car, though (and I'm both big and tall).
The one other thing I will say is that the electronics are awfully counterintuitive -- I typically pair my phone with the handsfree on cars I rent that have it, and the CC was the first one I've ever had to use the manual for.
