The Tiptronic is no slouch

Driven in the right way by the right person, it is very competitive in a racing venue! See past issues of Panorama.

She can have the auto mode and you can play fantasy F1 driver. Push it hard and watch how the shifting changes and the car takes on a whole different feel.

I live in a very crowded metropolitan area and the TIP makes it possible for me to have a Porsche. I'm just not up to rowing through the traffic. But get me free and in the twisties and I love how the character of the car changes.

I drove the SLK, S2000, TT Convertible, Z3 & Z4 and several others whilst shopping for a car.

The thing about the SLK for me personally was the seats. They lack support and actually made my back HURT after about 20 minutes behind the wheel. Not good.
I drove the manual tranny and it wasn't bad. Also, I was looking at a very lightly used ones, and I tried 3 different SLK's and every one of them had issues with the roof.

I am happy with my Box. I think it handles better and has a better feel than the SLK. I enjoy the sound of the engine right behind me, too.
