I have been driving my first TIP for about two months now. I am a huge manual fan and have to say the Tip is a good compromise. I enjoy the button shigfting and don't find it slow and i also like being able to flip to auto when i am tired or lazy.

The habit i can't break is still having my right hand on the shifter (for no reason), it still feels natural, I wish porsche had stuck a click shifter on the stick too.

At the same time I got the boxster, my wife got a mini auto. It is completly different. The manual shifter is useless and the CVT transmission kinda does it's own thing. I can't figure out the throttle postions to make it up and down shift. Its great for cruising in comfort because the it seems to have unlimited speeds.


I am pleased the the porsche Tip and only miss my manual on those hard launches from the lights!
