If I feeling frisky that day, I like the six speed.

If I am mellow or am going to sit in traffic, the tip rules.

The Tip is a very good manumatic BTW.

Hi,

I agree with all that you say here. They are both good, but for different reasons. I own 5 cars and 4 of them are Manuals. I find it very refreshing to jump into the Boxster and let the Box do my thinking. I certainly don't enjoy the car any less than any of my others. If I get the penchant to shift, all I have to do is jump into some different Sheet Metal to do it.

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

I don't think the Contributor is biased. He might be wrong but its consistent with everything I've heard of from the track where drivers complain of a lag between shifts in the tip.
I'll have to find a tipS this weekend and try it out.

Is there much traffic in Warsaw? I am ignorant to such things.

Ok,

But lets clarify what we're talking about. First it was a loss of Torque, than Horsepower and now Lag? These are all very different things.

Is the TipS different from the Manual? Yes. Is it better/worse? Again, yes - better at some things, worse at others.

Which would you rather drive? This is totally subjective. Try them both, get the one you want!

Um..back to the original question...manual 987 my man!!!

Well, let me caveat the below statement...do you have a wife that desires to drive the car, but her coordination is that of a 3 toed sloth? Not that I have one of those ladies per se.....
