The tiptronic is virtually bulletproof it is one of the best automatics made

the 2002 and newer Tip have more shift maps than the older ones. They will hold lower gears in corners and under harder driving.

As Tom mentioned, they are not one of the newwer dual clutch transmissions.

You ccan look at ot this way

Tiptronic - automatic transmission that you can manually shift\
PDK - Manual transmission that will automatically shift and in manual mode incredibly fast shifting
