I hate sitting in city traffic with my foot on the clutch... I think downshifting with a manual in very quick turns is a pain and with tip I can be much more aggressive and precise!

Most people here would have a hard time if they did their very best manual shifting, beating a automatic on a longer track course - but it's this myth that automatic is not a real driving experience. I think it is and seeing how many fake porsches leave the factory with tiptronic it makes me wonder how long this myth will go on, perhaps just one more generation
