Although the performance and features of torque converter transmissions and dual clutch transmissions have become similar in recent years, a dual clutch gearbox (DSG) will always offer faster shifting capabilities compared to a 7-speed torque converter transmission. I hypothesise that the A3 is configured to have a more pronounced sensation of sharpness, hence creating the illusion of a more athletic nature compared to the CLA. The CLA is likely designed to prioritise comfort over sportiness, even more so than the A3. Accelerator pedal mappings have a significant role in how we might be impacted in these aspects.

I want that they had extended such arrangement to the suspension. The AMG Line configuration provides a driving experience akin to operating a steam roller
