Kia Cee'd DCT automatic reliability

You have noted problems with Volkswagen DSG gearboxes. Does this apply to all twin clutch automatic gearboxes? I am considering the purchase of a Kia C'eed GDI DCT auto. Any known problems?

Problems are common with VWG DSG and S Tronic and now also with Ford Powershift which are the dual clutch transmissions out there in the greatest numbers. It follows that similar problems could occur with different dual clutch boxes that are less common, but the difference with the KIA is that is has a 7 year warranty.
