Having test driving a few manual cars for the misses over the weekend, I relised I miss my gearbox sometimes. Don't get me wrong in the city you can't beat the auto mode.
So I went for a run in manual mode as I have never realy used this & got used to it.
I have now found even more joy in my car. once you get used to it it is a doddle to use and so smoth. I think I actualy prefer the tip box in manual mode over an actual manual box.
bear in mind i dont track the car, if I did I know a manual would be better but for road use I cant fault it.
Does anyone else use there tip in manual all the time? any comments apart from thr useual "tips are rubbish"

Tiptronic is rubbish full stop..Porsches are supposed to be sports cars so why dilute the driving experience with an auto box?.Imo all these gizmo gearboxes like the SMG,Tip,F1 are all designed to take away driver involvement so why put them on so-called drivers cars?
This is from the man with 4wd, I take it you have your little ritual every time you get into your car turning off all those driver aids. How can you preach about diluteing the driving experiance when you keep going on about the TT being better than a GT3.
Could Tip V Manual be the new TT v GT3 
It is could to read that I am not alone in thinking the tip suites my needs.
If any future buyers are reading this , try before you buy, do not dismiss the tip box due to something you read on a forum, it seems there are more happy tip drivers out htere than i thought..
Long live the Tiptronic box, you never know porsche might grace the GT3 with one oneday

GT3 vs tt is a discussion talking about awesome cars(which ever you prefer)..an automatic car doesnt really belong on the same forum.. It is could to read that I am not alone in thinking the tip suites my needs.

the men at porsche think diffrent, why else would the new tt be faster in tip form.
progress is the word of the day.

With statments like that no wonder everyone is ammused, thread started off by saying how much i like my tip, then Kayc comes along and says your car is shite. lets hope he never loses a leg.
