I need an auto without a dual mass flywheel

I am looking to purchase a nearly new automatic family car to last several years but would like to avoid anything with a DMF. What automatics are fitted with a DMF?

Anything with a dual shaft, dual clutch transmission, such as a DSG, s-tronic or Powershift. You will avoid DMF problems by buying a CVT automatic or a torque converter automatic.
