Is the Sorento's DCT transmission all it's cracked up to be or is it more headache than it's worth?

I have had nothing but trouble. It hesitates in traffic, hesitates when I need power, and I already had to replace it once under warranty. If you can, stick with the regular auto.

I think it’s great for enthusiasts, but maybe not the best choice for a family hauler. If you like driving and don’t mind some quirk, why not? It’s not smooth and simple, if that is what you want.

It’s fine 95% of the time, but that 5% when it acts up is really frustrating. The occasional headaches aren’t worth the performance gains, I’m not sure.

I was worried about the DCT horror stories, I have zero issues with mine after 30k miles. I think a lot of problems come from people treating it like a regular automatic.

It is definitely acquired taste. I hated it for the first month but now I can’t see myself going back to a regular auto. The key is to have its quirks and to learn how and when to adapt.

I regret getting the DCT. For daily driving, especially in stop and go traffic, it's just not smooth enough. I'm always afraid it's going to break on me.

I love the DCT in my X-Line! It super shifts quick and makes the car feel very sporty. It's awesome once you get used to it.

It's honestly a little bit of a letdown. In traffic it's jerky, and sometimes it hesitates when you need power. I just wish they'd stayed with a regular auto.

It's a mixed bag. Great for the highway and spirited driving, but it can be a pain in the city. It requires you to drive a little different.

I think it’s a bit overkill for a car like this. Most drivers don’t see much real world benefit for the complexity and potential reliability issues added by the DCT.

It was a bit of an adjustment, but I really like the DCT now. In sport mode, it’s more engaging to drive than a regular automatic.
Is the Verna's DCT transmission a deal breaker?

The DCT is a deal breaker for me. I’ve heard too many horror stories about how they fail, or cost too much to repair. I would rather have a CVT or torque converter that is reliable.

I don't think people are reacting too much. Today’s DCTs are much better than they used to be. Also, Hyundai’s warranty will take care of any major headaches.

That depends on how you drive. If you spend most of your time on highways, the DCT is great. I wouldn't be worried about the wear and tear for city driving, but otherwise.

For now, I have had the Verna with DCT for a year and it has been super. If you just follow the manual, don't creep in traffic, you'll be fine.

For me, the risk is worth the performance of the DCT. A CVT is boring, but it makes the car so much more fun to drive.

If only Hyundai had a traditional automatic option. The DCT is nice but I’d sleep better at night with a proven torque converter.

I guess people are overreacting. DCTs have improved a lot from their earlier days. And Hyundai's warranty should take care of any big problems.
