YMMV: We had a 2014 Fiesta with a DCT and the thing worked like a first time driver on a manual. Herky jerky, seemingly missing clutch engagement. They might have done a lot better with interior build quality, and their higher end models are impressive (hell, their 3 cyl 1.0L turbo engine for the Fiesta is a masterclass in small car powerplants), but they aren't even halfway to a Honda or Toyota, who have essentially reinvented (and continue to reinvent) car manufacturing. I recommend watching James May's Building a Car documentary. It was a fascinating window into all the aspects of car QA.
