Got them both when I lived in a crowded urban area where traffic at rush hour was stop and go and the rush hour was 6AM to 10PM 7 days a week. Owned 3 prior sports cars that were stick. There is a difference between the 2 TIPs in that the '00 and later years can shift from the buttons while still in auto mode where the '99 and prior had to be in manual. I drive 95% in auto mode...mostly semi rural fairly long drives where 2 cars at a rare stop light is a traffic jam and the average speed is 55-65. I actually shift to manual only in urban areas now.

For the number of TIPs out there, there are few reported problems.
