A very good car for its price but some performance issues

The Carens at first glane had me very excited. The drive felt good - I enjoyed the turbo diesel thrust and the fuel economy very ideal.
However, the handling is okay but nothing to write home about, and the key for me is the DCT gears on low speeds often make for a slightly bumpy ride. It's still very new for me so maybe I'll get used to this - learn how to use the pedal better in this car, but as of now the driving experience isn't good enough.
