I agree with other comments on this. I drive in manual mode 99% of the time and row up and down though the gears. To me that's what it's made to do and if it breaks it's under warranty. After years of driving stick this was a nice change, especially when stuck in traffic and just pop it back into auto.
I've driven a few other cars with the tiptronic style auto but none have been as responsive as this tranny. Turn the VDC off, put it in manual and let the fun begin
