My 1999 Boxster came with a Tiptronic trans which I generally drive in "M" mode and after five years of use still thoroughly enjoy and would not go back to a stick. It has operated flawlessly in AX, DE and spirited back road driving. I've never had a problem keeping up with more powerful cars on twisty road driving and my left foot enjoys tapping the footrest while my thumbs do the shifting work. I enjoy the fact that I can't over rev the car and I'll never miss a shift and don't have to "paddle the canoe" in traffic or worry about roll back on hills with stop signs.
I hope this can be a place to help one another with Tiptronic issues that may arise, although mine has performed without incident.

+ 1 on your take on the TIP. Don't forget there are 5 driving 'maps' in the computer that ups the performance depending on your driving style. Good to know it would handle more HP as it certainly could use more....
