The bigger and more expensive the car, the bigger the pay cut. I'm also liable for the luxury car tax they have here (presuming at GTS /GT would attract that).

I looked at an Audi RS4 for shits and gigles - it's like a AU$45k per year cut.

Plenty of jobs here bro. 35% pay rise for putting up with a different accent and some sunny weather.

Immature compared to the internal combustion engine itself perhaps.

Porsche started developing the original twin clutch gearbox in 1981 and had it reliable enough to win races (in group C 962's) by 1985. Other manufacturers license the technology from porsche.

Recalls aren't a bad thing - there's a problem and it gets sorted out for free, before anything breaks.

I wouldn't buy a car with a twin clutch box without proof it's been serviced properly. But an approved used car with a warranty is a safe bet.
