previous post from me about west london porsche denting my boxster s whilst it was in for a service. well, they have given me a lovely 997 carrera 4s convertible for a few weeks, whilst they repair mine.

i was looking forward to the next few weeks, but.........IT'S TIPTRONIC!!! what a pile of s~~~e!!

i live in london, so maybe a tiptronic will have it's benefits, but i just don't get it. it's fast, it holds the road really well, but i just can't see why anyone would take the fun out of driving and pick tiptronic over manual??

just before i took the boxster s in for repair, i drove it round italy and france for two weeks....what a fantastic car!!

anyway, i'm sure the manual 911s are awesome cars, but a tiptronic one................i'll happily have the boxster back please!!
