On a twin clutch DSG box, there is effectively no interruption of power

The only time you notice is if you 'confuse it' e.g. it's in 4th and
preparing to change up to 5th, but you boot it so then it needs to find
3rd in a hurry.

Modern autos are so good there is usually no need to use the manual
function. Except for fun.

no disagreement there :-P
