Interesting write up from across the pond

Yes, interesting, and in the 5 years I've had DSG'S I've never experienced this. I guess if you disable autohold, and somehow get around hill hold you might get it to roll back....
Ok, I've not got a mk2, and we've established start/stop is different, it stops before the vehicle has come to a halt. However I'd presume like my mk1, you engage drive, touch the accelerator, the car seamlessly releases the brakes as the clutch engages and you have a no fuss smooth roll away.

These were also my thoughts.Tricky said:
I currently have a BMW and it does exactly the same thing. I think it is just a quirk of start stop as it just kicks in too early. It is very annoying if you go to pull away and get a sudden jerk as though you have stalled and bump started.
Stop start works on loads of variables for example if you set the heater high on a cold day, it shouldn't stop the engine.

I edited my post last night to add another comment, but it seems to have ditched it. I went on to note he also writes "Another minor irritation, given the amount of premium equipment in the car, was the lack of an auto window up function even for the driver." eh? How experienced is the auto reviewer?
