apolagize for teh spelling errors

sports car= has to be manual

we have an auto 350z b/c my stepdad wanted black and they didnt have any manual and its just not as appealing as an automatic.

yea sports cars really should be manuals. Tiptronic is fine, much better than automatic, but if u r buying a Porsche, l honestly think getting anything but a manual would be a shame. Think about it this way, when u r driving a manual in heavy traffic, do u seriously think it will annoy u enough to the point that u would have wished u had a tiptronic.hell no because shifting becomes automatic to the mind anyway. It gets into ur muscle memory & u wo not even think about it. But when u r trying to ''fake shift'' with the tiptronic when the roads r clear, do u think u might wish u had a manual? Definitly yes! Get the manual. trust me on this. Besides, if u get tiptronic, u will probably get shit from people like me who understand the importance of shifting in a sports car. Get a manual, trust me.

that clutch is just too important to give up.

l would go with the manual. It is simpler and more reliable, plus loads more fun to drive.

Manual is quicker, faster, lighter, more reliable, cheaper to buy and fix, and much more fun to drive.

If u buy any European sports car, it must be manual. Tiptronic is just another lame excuse for drivers who do not know how to drive a real manual, to feel like they're driving a manual. It just does not work for sports cars.

l personally drive an automatic as a primary vehicle because l am too lazy to have to shift every 300-500 feet in the city streets. But if l was getting a Porsche, it'd have to be manual. And if l were getting a Porsche, it'd be one of the upper class Porsches & I'd only drive it like once or twice a week for recreational purposes.

Tiptronic, although shifts like manual, you get no where the perfromance of shifting with manual. A Porsche is meant to be driven with manual in my opinion.

Tiptronic is best

Hmm.well, it does not sound like a Porsche would exactly be his cup of tea. Porsche is are drivers cars, for people who like to drive and appreciate engineering excellence. Perhaps he would be better suited to a Jaguar XK or a Mercedes SL? Obviously the tip is for women and poseurs, it adds about a second onto the 0-60 time and kind of defeats the purpose of owning the car, but as far as tips good, it is a good slush box.

From what l understand early versions of the Tiptronic are just not as effective at shifiting as the new ones. l think they had a lot of teething problems in the early years. A Porsche Boxster definitely deserves a manual transmission.
