Tiptronic is a joke Posted by nick [Email] (#227) [Profile/Gallery] (more from nick) on Fri, 9 Feb 2001 00:31:02 In Reply to: anyone with a choice........., John A., Thu, 8 Feb 2001 11:08:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I know, we are one of the 24% of passat owners who bought automatic. Its fun for about an hour after you get the car...then it wears off. Its a marketing gimmick IMO. First of all, it downshifts for you, secondly it upshifts for you. Obviously it does this so you wont stall/kill the engine but basically this option is a toy. I never use the tiptronic mode. I dont find it makes a bit of difference in performance. I prefer my 5 speed saab. I rarely drive the VW anyway.
