When we were looking, we drove both back-to-back since the dealer is a VW/Audi.
By the way, 'S-Tronic' is just an Audi name for DSG. My sales guy just confirmed that both cars have the same transmission.
Both my girlfriend and I were dissappointed driving the Golf after driving the A3. It seemed that they were programmed for different performance. Shifting gears seemed slower in the Golf in the time it took between telling it to shift and actually shifting. I feel lag in the A3 every once in the same way, but usually only when I am not giving accelerator input. Obviously, neither of them is as slow as a conventional automatic transmission, but I thought I noticed a difference between them. Then again, it could have been the overall drive quality difference in the Audi that made the Golf have to work harder to get noticed. I love Sport mode in the A3, but it's a little dangerous to use during the break-in, since it will let you take it right to red-line before it shifts if you aren't careful with your foot.
Overall, the Golf just didn't feel as tight as the A3. The suspension didn't seem to be tuned as nicely. It wasn't as smooth in the corners, it took longer for the suspension to recover from dips and bumps in the road.
The Golf was by no means bad to drive, but it wasn't as good as the A3. I would say it was better in quality and comfort than the Scion tC we drove onto the lot in.
My 2 cents.

My 2006 A3, always driven in DSG mode, has multiple transmission issues but none that are reproduceable enough for me to take it into the dealer and have them check out. First, after sitting in the garage overnight, a typical morning trying to get the car to start ends in at least two frustrating attempts before it catches and fires up.
Some Audi vehicles come equipped with a special automatic transmission feature called Tiptronic that allows you to manually control the gears when driving, much like a manual gearbox. Although the system has a few limitations, Tiptronic mode gives you more control over the selected gear.
The 6-speed S tronic offers the driver the choice between manual shifting and automatic mode: whether the driver chooses the fully automatic mode with the programs D (Drive) and S (Sport) or changes the gears manually by means of the optional shift paddles - the feel Is precise and extremely sporty.
