who has it in their vehicle...
who has used it....

what are your opinons on it just post em up i wanna read what you all think

 

audi volvo volkswagen people?

 

I drive a lot of these at work.. Porsche.bmw.mercedes.volks...ect.....

Very usefull in the porsche but it's nothing to sell your soul over.. on the bmers and benzes it's pretty ghey and i'd rather slap that puppy in Drive.....

 

Faster but it takes some fun out of driving.

IMO Tiptronic has crossed the line between driver skill requirements and technology.

 

i have an audi and the tiptronic is 100% pointless it has faster response in auto.... if you are debating btwn tip and manual i would def go stick but if you are just looking for a chill car then tip adds to a little of the fun factor.

 

I have a passat with tiptronic. I don't like it at all. But if you don't like stick I guess it can be fun.

 

The only form of Tiptronic that seems to start to compare to a manual is BMW's SMG and Audi's DSG (only avalible on the TT I belive.)

 

Hey hey hey, you need to take into concideration the year as well. I may be wrong, but IIRC, VW/Audi were the first ones to have it, and it was in some Porsches. They use the same 5spd tip in the Passat as in the auto W12 Phaeton. I know for sure I got the first year of it (9 so obviously there are problems.

Occasionally it wont want to shift up, but never had a problem downshifting with it. Earlier gens kinda suck though, I know VW made tweaks a few years ago and they are managable now.

But having driven manual....there is NO replacement..

 

Shit is gay especially in the bmws and mercedes

 

tiptronic isn't that when you can semimanually shift gears? well then I did it on a g35 seden and it was pretty nice
