We love our TIP. I have a nerve problem with my left leg and I would rather drive Porsche with a TIP than not drive one at all. That said, I would not switch to manual ever again and if I get another and it has the new PDK, all the better. Hit a traffic jam and you will love the tip. Comments on auto X and not having to worry about over revs on a track course are relevant. I believe Leonard Turner in PANO once said that you get it right 90% of the time with the TIP. How many get it right that many times with the Manual? Thing is if you enjoy shifting and that adds to the fun that is what you should get. If you enjoy the car and not having to shift then that is what you should get. Try the TIP out before you make your decision. 0-60 is not everything in these cars and once you are up to speed the TIP will not let you down.
