Well, I guess I am not in the "most" category that boba speaks of. I don't want to drive a manual and have to constantly shift. Since I do not have Quattro, I find the car quite responsive. The only complaint specific to having the Tip is that it in combination with Quattro makes the car slow to respond. For the most part, I don't use the Tip part, I just leave it in Automatic. When I feel like racing someone or I need to make some quick lane changes (all done within the limits of the law), I switch to the Tip. The Automatic is very smooth.

I would say that if you don't mind driving a stick, you might be happier in the long run with a stick. If you prefer to not deal with the hassle of a stick, the Tip is a great Automatic Transmission.

Sticks are only for men who don't have their own. Take that, Gatsby! ; )

operate than the clumsy regular auto stick found in all auto cars.

1) He works in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh (traffic and construction central). I wouldn't want a stick if I was in stop & go traffic for 45 minutes every day;

2) He's 6'4", 275lbs, and he wears a size 18 shoe. The guy is NFL Defensive Lineman-size. He has yet to sit in a vehicle in which he can actually move his legs to shift without smacking them under the dashboard. Driving a stick is literally an uncomfortable experience.

BTW, he enjoys it. Despite what all of the haters will tell you, it's a nice compromise between function and convenience. I say go for it.

Yeah, and autos are for those who don't know how to handle their manstick

If they drove a stick they would realize that it does not make that much of a diff on the open road.
