Car Buyer's Notebook Podcast #97: I Hate Tiptronic

Porsche-911-Tiptronic-S.jpgIn this podcast, I regale you with my absolute, 100%, unwavering hatred of tipronic transmissions.

Tiptronic, a feature that allows you to kind of shift, kind of approximate a manual transmission, is the dumbest thing ever put anywhere near a moving vehicle.

It does nothing, it serves no purpose. Tiptronic is an insult and I wish there was such a thing as a neutron bomb for auto journalists where I could push a button and make them all go away. Forever.
