If you follow that logic, then the Dacia Sandero is the only car you can buy. Every other car just comes with pointless overpriced extras that nobody needs.

In reality, the brand of a car is extremely important to most people who buy cars.

(But speaking of VW transmissions, I don't know why anyone would buy a VW. Their manuals always seem to be having issues with the clutch, and DSG is the worst driving experience I've ever had. Maybe their EVs work better)

Not really. The point is that all these VAG brands share technology and key parts.

A Dacia is an old Renault, built cheaply. A VW Golf, a Skoda Octavia, a SEAT Leon and an Audi A3 are mostly the same car.

I knew a guy who had been working on a VW/Audi manufacturing line in Belgium. I think they were assembling golf and A3. Both models were assembled on the same line, I wouldn't vouch that all posts were exactly assembling same parts, that wouldn't be true, especially as fit and finish and some specs are different, but for his particular post in the line, he was installing same part and was only told to put glove before working on the Audi ones, basically to avoid leaving fingerprints somewhere most customers would never ever look anyway.

DQ250/DQ350/DQ500 are absolute beasts, what exactly is it that you dont like about them?

To be honest, I just once drove a Sharan with DSG for a day, and I hated the way it handled when parking and driving slowly. It felt like the worst parts of driving an automatic combined with the worst parts of driving a manual.
