Tip is fine, but personally, I prefer manual for fun driving. Tip is awesome in traffic, my wife loves it, and it's essentially hassle-free, but for me, it lacks the direct connection and fine control you get with a manual. I've found that for those times that I want control, I just leave it in D and take over on the downshifting and upshifting from a corner, instead of putting it in manual mode.

Eventually, I'll get a newer S, and that will have the 6 speed manual.
