I don't believe so. The dual clutch is pretty violent and the car was a bit small for me. It would definately be a fun car to have but only if it was used as a non-primary vehicle.

Actually I had a go in a friend's 2009 GT-R and it's very smooth at low speeds, the dual clutch is seamless, it's also fairly quiet and comfortable. I'm 6 ft and it fits like a glove, yes, it's not a Chrysler 300c but it's actually quite "cosy". It's an insane machine, for the price you can't go wrong. Plus the potential, Jesus Christ this car has POTENTIAL!

It took me a couple of days to find a comfortable seating position in my GT-R. I think the DCT is pretty smooth...although it really does act like a manual on an incline. It isn't the most comfortable car to drive daily... and it really doesn't like road imperfections.
