Exactly. People just shit on the tiptronic and have never even driven one. My only complaint is the not padels, but I'm remedying that with an aftermarket wheel.
No it isn't, that's just dudebruh rhetoric. The tiptronic is a good transmission, not as good as the pdk, but still good, and it will beat a manual in a race with equally skilled drivers. There is a reason the 3rd pedal is going extinct. And this isn't a "I can drive stict so auto is fine, B4 my booster s I had a manual 124 Abarth and that car was really fun, but at the end of the day being stuck on bumper to bumper traffic with a clutch sucks. Unless this is just a track toy, the auto is fine.
Depends on what you want from the car…I agree it’s not the car to worry about depreciation, and that either the pdk or tiptronic will be worth less than a manual. For this old guy my 99 with the tiptronic suits me just fine.
tested both, preferred shtick. The argument with stick is that you can happily drive 80kmh in 2nd gear, which isn't good, but fun. 2nd gear goes to 96kmh at which point you're already too fast 4 swiss laws on any street but the autobahn and autostrasse. the only argument against stick is congestions and stop & go traffic.
do you have to worry about mileage on these cars? there are so many goer around 10k€ with about 200k km mileage. can they last another 100k€ or are you going to be the last driver…
I only had a manual transmission and the car was pretty fun I think an automatic would be Nice too if you like automatic,part of the fun of that car was the power to Price ratio it’s pretty fast for what it is and it’s Nice for cruising with the top down,however mine was an absolute shitshow and needed everything I didn’y fix it and sold it at a 8k loss,this car is a bitter sweet feeling to me
Buy a manual gear. You will be happier, to drive it, to love it and then resell it.
Okey yes I have heard that automatic decreases resell value
This ain't the car to buy and worry much about depreciation my guy
Because this gearbox sucks... The next generation (PDK) is waaaay better. The Tiptronic is really really bad.
Not true at all. It was the transmission choice in the 996 Turbo because it could handle the torque.

Those thumb buttons work FAST! If you accidentally tap one twice, you INSTANTLY go up or down two gears!
Yeah, but I keep hitting them when I'm just vibing to music and my car doesn't appreciate my clumsiness 😅
I tried both, and the manual gear is way better to drive...
Noted boss
I've got a 2.7 Boxster with a manual, this car is fantastic :) You won't regret it !

So you haven’t had issues with it?
No issues, works as designed.
