Don't know much about cars, I just assumed that if I have Manual and Automatic transmission that it is DSG. For the automatic shifting at the optimal RPMs, I think it never goes over like 5k RPMS for me. Isn't lower gear means higher torque/acceleration? If it keeps going to the next gear at 3-4k RPMs, how is that optimal?
