Tip was the only option for this marriage.
Having said that, I kinda like controling the downshifting with the gas pedal that tip allows you.
Downside: The tranny gear ratios are different than with manual. So the 0-60 on the tip is a fraction of a second slower.
Learning to optimize gear changes isn't easy with a tip, so achieving your best 0-60 time can take more time and practice.

Personally, I don't a manual in traffic.

Overall personal choice: Although I don't mind the tip, I would prefer a manual ... if I had the choice of course!

Cheers!
