The one I drove crept like an auto in gear, but you have to get used to it because when you tap the brakes at parking speeds, the clutch disengages and feels jerky. You have to adjust your driving style accordingly and not touch the brakes too much when manoeuvring at low speeds. I think the software calibration may have some effect on how it works at low speeds. I noticed the roll back on inclines though, but it wasn't excessive for me. I took it for a long test drive and was impressed. DSG really suits the character of turbo diesels.
