Driving the Tiptronic

Never drive in any mode but M. Keep revs between 3-4k at steady driving. When in a 55 zone the car does not need to be in 5th, fourth runs at 3100 or so. You can learn to down shift "safely" breaking with left foot and throttle blipping with right to rev match. Ya, the 02 isn't new enough for the computer to do that. Completely different than the wife's 2014 Q50, the computer does the rev match for you as all new cars do. Tip in manual mode is a great experience, don't miss driving a stick.
