Difference between a manual and a tip? One's an automatic car, and the other's a manual
I've had a tiptronic for almost 2 years now, and i love it. It drives very well, and i can get anything between 16 and 31 mpg depending on how im driving and the roads im on.
The auto-box is very good... and the tiptronic mode is very useful when going for a b-road blast!
That said, i do occasionally wish i had a manual, but not often.
