no you werent , because you said the person can still read , think , talk , interact with friends , and play games . How exactly is this person brain damaged then ? <| sep |> If you want a DCT , you have 2 options as far as I know . VWs with a wet DSG , and Hyundais with a dry DSG . For $ 15 k you can get a lot of car . Best advice I can give is buy top of the line lower tier , than base higher . Meaning if you really wanna go the BMW route , buy a fully loaded 3 series than a base 5 series . 2 nd advice is buy young over miles . So between a 2006 50 k miles and a 2012 80 k miles , I ' d take the 2012 anyday , all other things being equal . Your options are a VW 2012 Passat , Golf , Audi a 3 all built on the same platformHyundais Sonata , Azera
