Like most replies here, I drive it in Auto mode and then manually downshift if I feel it is necessary.. Drawback is it adds weight to the car and about 50 some pounds if my guess is correct. Also adds a second to zero to 60. I can live with it and once up to speed will run with the rest of them and I would not go back to a stick even if I could. No regrets and would buy another. Now if I could lose about 100 lbs in the car........

Like you Allen, I have nerve damage in my left leg which makes using a clutch difficult but not impossible. I've had my 2001 with Tip for about 3 years now - very satisfying.

I really can't complain about the Tip adding 50 lbs to the weight of the car - since my fat a$$ adds about 240 lbs
