Owned a '99 TIP and a '01S TIP. Preferred the latter as you could downshift without having to move the shifter knob to manual. Drove it 97% of the time in auto mode in drive to work traffic and on trips but nice to be able to control downshifts when passing or on hills. My prior sportscar background was in Alfas and a 914 so I had lots of stick experience. But I now lived in a congested area and the commute was more relaxed with an auto and I wasn't going to out stoplight anyone with the traffic we had. On the weekends in the twisties, I'd go manual and have fun. Trouble free for me but those cars are now aged, like me.
