Tiptronic all the way, wouldn't go back to the stick either. Even got the thick 320mm wheel and paddle shifters that completes the kit

Oh and, I became so good at it that I can blip the throttle between gears / right before downshifting. Used only for a little illegal accel, in the tunnel, when nobody is looking! It just sounds really good (that, with the ricer sound of the 2.5L). Blissss

This is a RAID steering wheel if I am not mistaken (my indy installed it for me by mistake lol). Not entirely cheap when adding the paddles but quality is unbeatable - does feels exactly like the Ferrari wheel; thick, heavy, solid core/metal, no vibrations, immortal nappa leather and threads

Only avail in the EU for some strange reason

Nice wheel

Ive seen that wheel in other posts of yours, envious... the stock tip wheel sucks, too easy to accidentally "palm" shift when turning a corner. Drive it M all the time but still occasionally palm shift the damn thing... the clickers are just in a bad location.... Paddles would be sooooo much better.
