Another very crisp example! 👌As a Tiptronic driver myself I can only agree. Also, one highly overlooked advantage of the Tiptronic is the on point rev matching. Especially when downshifting while on a spirited drive. Also great cinematography. Keep ém coming Trevor!
This car is perfect for 99% of the driving a driver will typically do in this modern world. For the last 1% a manual would be better. Whereas for a manual I'd say it's perfect for the 1% of driving and has one pedal too much for the remaining 99%. Doing things like a TCU tune and a steering wheel with paddle shifters makes the experience even better 🙌
I've met Paul many times at various car meets. Always great to have a chat. This car was for sale via Duke of London, so I'd seen it before seeing it out and about. There may be a delay with the box, but it's a super quick car even by today's standards.
"Shift up on the right side and down on the left"? As far as I'm aware, you're able to shift up or down on both sides of the steering wheel with those strange thumb buttons (instead of paddles).
Good video 👍 I bought a Porsche 2006 997.1 Turbo Tiptronic a few months ago, mainly because I have been driving automatics for years and mostly in London for cruising . However, I believe the manuals may hold their value a little better ?
I daily a 958.2 Cayenne and the tiptronic is noticeably slow and clunky. It works fine, but definitely is not at all comparable to a manual or a PDK. Unless i was physically incapable, I’d get the manual all day, even with Los Angeles traffic.

A great car for town or cruising. Even with a tip it’s still very rapid.
Great Video Trevor. ❤
Thank you!
I've driven a 997.1 carrera 4s it was only a short test drive but didn't find bad in anyway

Great car but I couldn't do a tippa !
Until you drive a tip it’s difficult to know how they feel. I have a 996 tip and it is great. Especially in london!
